Lions star wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown suffered a right leg injury in the first quarter of Thursday's Thanksgiving game against the Packers.
On Detroit's second offensive drive, St. Brown's right leg got rolled up on from behind by his own teammates. He immediately headed to the locker room after sustaining the injury, which usually isn't a great sign.
The Lions posted a brief update stating that St. Brown hurt his right ankle and is questionable to return. In the third quarter, it was announced he was ruled out for the rest of the game, per ESPN's Adam Schefter.

After the game, coach Dan Campbell informed reporters that the team would know more about the extent of St. Brown’s injury tomorrow, but that it could be a week or two before his return. While it’s not ideal, it’s ultimately a pretty positive assessment for Lions fans, as it sounds like he’s not expected to miss too much time.
St. Brown is the Lions' leading receiver with 75 catches for 884 yards and nine touchdowns entering Thursday's contest. Heading into the game, he was coming off his biggest game of the year in which he put up 149 yards and one touchdown in last week's win over the Giants.
