Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown left Thursday's game against the Green Bay Packers with an ankle injury and won't return, the Lions announced.

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 leads the Lions 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 are the team's other wide receivers active in Thursday's game.

The Lions entered their Thanksgiving showdown outside the NFC playoff picture at 7-4.
