One of the big reasons they looked so bad is because Amon-Ra St. Brown got hurt during the game and left Jared Goff with one less familiar target to throw at.

How Bad Is Amon-Ra St. Brown's Injury

Amon-Ra St. Brown left the Lions' Thanksgiving game against the Packers early in the first quarter after suffering an ankle injury.

While blocking on a running play, an offensive lineman rolled up on his leg.

Initially St. Brown was listed as questionable, but was ultimately ruled out for the remainder of the game which ended with the Green Bay Packers on top 34-21.

After medical evaluations were done it was confirmed that the injury is a low-ankle sprain with no structural damage, which is good news for St. Brown and the Lions.

When Will St Brown Be Back From Injury

The Lions' next game is this Thursday December 4th against the Dallas Cowboys.

With it being only one week out from the ankle sprain, it is likely he won't play.

If that's the case Lions fans can realistically expect St. Brown to make his return for the Week 15 matchup against Matthew Stafford and the Los Angeles Rams.
