About midway through the first quarter, three-time Pro Bowler and two-time first-team All-Pro Amon-Ra St. Brown was attacked after being tackled by Packers defenders. The playmaker immediately left for the locker room and, at press time, at the start of the third quarter, had yet to return to the game.

Given St. Brown’s experience and ability as one of the true engines of Detroit’s offense, his absence is obviously always a blow to the Lions. They need him in top shape to be the best version of themselves as an NFC heavyweight. Final point. His injury also adds to the likely loss of Pro Bowl tight end Sam LaPorta for the remainder of the 2025 season.
Unfortunately, St. Brown has officially been ruled out for the remainder of the Thanksgiving matchup. There is no update on the severity of St. Brown’s injury:
At the time of his injury, St. Brown had 75 receptions (on 107 targets) for 884 yards and nine touchdowns. He was second in the NFL in touchdown receptions, fourth in the NFL in receiving yards and sixth in receptions. Yes, he is an elite player, dear readers.

We’ll see how the Lions try to come up with a consistent, quality offense without their best offensive player.
