The Detroit Lions are in a must-win situation for their Thanksgiving showdown against the Green Bay Packers. They have the home-field advantage, and the Packers are more banged up than they are. However, the team just got some bad news as wide receiver Amon Ra St Brown was sent to the locker room early after suffering an injury during the first quarter.
Because this game is very important in the Detroit Lions’ hunt for the playoffs, losing such a key piece in the team’s offense would be a hard blow, and fans reacted to this on X, with many dismayed at losing their star wide receiver.

A doctor noted that a Green Bay Packers offensive lineman rolled up on him, possibly injuring his high ankle, as well as possibly injuring his knee or back.
Amon-Ra St. Brown –
Left foot/ankle was in a spot where there’d be concern of a high ankle as the OL rolled up on him.
Could also be knee or back, but seems more lower extremity.
We’ll see if he’s able to return but immediate visit to the locker room isn’t a great sign. pic.twitter.com/IW78gtxum5— Jeff Mueller, PT, DPT (@jmthrivept) November 27, 2025
For now, fans just have to wait and see if St Brown could return later in the game or later in the season.
