Lions WR Amon-Ra St. Brown ruled out Thursday vs. Packers with ankle injury

Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown sustained an ankle injury and was ruled out in the second half during a 31-24 loss to the Green Bay Packers. The injury occurred in the first quarter when St. Brown was inadvertently rolled up on by teammate Trystan Colon-Castillo while engaged with Packers safety Xavier McKinney. St. Brown, a two-time All-Pro, had entered the game with 75 receptions, 884 receiving yards, and nine touchdowns for the season. His absence compounds challenges for the Lions, who are already without tight end Sam LaPorta due to a back injury. With St. Brown out, wide receiver Jameson Williams and running back Jahmyr Gibbs are likely to become quarterback Jared Goff's primary targets. The team awaits further assessment of St. Brown's injury severity.
