Amon-Ra St. Brown injury update: Detroit Lions WR not seen at practice

Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown was not seen at practice on Monday, Dec. 1, as he continues recovery from an ankle injury. St. Brown appeared to injure his ankle in the first quarter of the Lions' 31-24 loss to the Green Bay Packers on Thursday, exiting the game and not returning.

The Lions have not indicated if they plan on making their star wideout active for their upcoming game against the Dallas Cowboys this Thursday (8:15 p.m., FanDuel Sports Network Detroit). Lions coach Dan Campbell initially indicated after the Packers' loss that St. Brown avoided a long-term injury, but that he could be out for 1-2 weeks.

Despite missing most of the Packers game, St. Brown still leads the Lions in many receiving categories, including receptions (75, sixth in the NFL), receiving yards (884, fifth) and receiving touchdowns (nine, second).

"When you lose a guy like Saint, it’s tough," Campbell said after Thursday's game. "I mean, he’s so fricking smart, man, and he’s tough. And so there’s a million jobs he does and he does them at a high level that it does, it hurts when you lose him."

With St. Brown out, receiver Jameson Williams stepped up as Detroit's No. 1 wideout, hauling in seven catches on 10 targets for a career-high 144 receiving yards against the Packers. St. Brown's absence also opened up opportunities for rookie receiver Isaac TeSlaa, who had two catches and a touchdown against the Packers, and veteran practice-squadder Tom Kennedy, who caught four passes on four targets on Thursday.
