Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown (14) runs onto the field for warmup ahead of the Green Bay Packers game at Ford Field in Detroit on Thursday, Nov. 27, 2025.

The Detroit Lions are hoping it's a happy Thanksgiving.

It hasn't been the case in first quarter as Amon-Ra St. Brown went down with an injury. The Lions' star receiver was able to walk off the field, but went into the locker room with 6:12 remaining.

St. Brown is one of the Lions' irreplaceable players, meaning his absence will certainly be felt on offense. The receiver was rolled up on during a running play for Jahmyr Gibbs.

Here's the latest on St. Brown.

Amon-Ra St. Brown injury update

St. Brown has been ruled out for the remainder of the Lions' Thanksgiving game with an ankle injury.

He was initially listed as questionable to return.

The receiver walked to the locker room after multiple Lions players rolled up on him during the first quarter.

He appeared to be walking with a slight limp, but required no assistance from medical staff. St. Brown is the clear WR1 in Detroit's offense that is already without another key pass-catching option in Sam LaPorta.

It leaves Dan Campbell's team thin on potential targets, but they are better equipped to handle it than most, thanks to a top running back duo of Gibbs and Davis Montgomery.

Lions WR depth chart

  • Amon-Ra St. Brown
  • Jameson Williams
  • Isaac TeSlaa
  • Dominic Lovett
  • Tom Kennedy

If St. Brown can't continue, TeSlaa and Williams figure to be the two main options in the passing attack. Detroit is also without Kalif Raymond, who suffered an ankle injury that kept him out of the Thanksgiving game.
