Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown could miss at least one game after sustaining an ankle injury during Thursday's 31-24 loss to the Green Bay Packers.

"We'll know more tomorrow. I don't feel like this is long, long term, so that's the good news but ... could be a week or two, maybe, if we're lucky," Lions coach Dan Campbell said of St. Brown's status postgame.

St. Brown suffered the injury when he got rolled up on during a play in the first quarter. The wideout went to the locker room after trainers attended to him.

St. Brown entered Thursday's showdown as the Lions' leader in targets (107), receptions (75), receiving yards (884), and receiving touchdowns (nine) this season. He hasn't missed a game since 2023 and has sat out only two contests during his five-year career.

Detroit is already without top tight ends Sam LaPorta and Brock Wright. Jameson Williams, Tom Kennedy, and rookie Isaac TeSlaa were the team's other wide receivers active in Thursday's game.

The Lions fell to 7-5 with their Thanksgiving loss to the 8-3-1 Packers.
