Early in Thursday’s loss to the Packers, the Lions lost receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown with an ankle injury. He’ll apparently miss more than the vast majority of the Thanksgiving game.
After the 31-24 loss to the Packers, Lions coach Dan Campbell provided an update to reporters.
Campbell said the St. Brown injury isn’t believed to be “long, long-term,” but that “it could be a week or two” until St. Brown returns.
The Lions, now 7-5, need him. The Cowboys bring a three-game winning streak to town next Thursday night, with three of the final four Detroit games on the road — at Rams, Steelers, at Vikings, at Bears. Amazing as it sounds, the Lions are in [grave danger](https://getyarn.io/yarn-clip/155d04a9-7ec5-467e-b6c9-21d17391a6b6) of not making it to the playoffs.
St. Brown, who needs six catches over the balance of the season to set the record for the most receptions in a player’s first five seasons, had no targets before the injury.
