Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown is not expected to land on injured reserve while dealing with a low-ankle sprain, NFL Network reported on Friday morning.
St. Brown sustained the injury during the first quarter of Detroit’s 31-24 loss to the Green Bay Packers on Thursday afternoon.
He was hurt in the first quarter when an offensive lineman rolled up on him as he was making a block. He was initially deemed questionable to return before the Lions ruled him out for the rest of the game less than five minutes into the third quarter.
St. Brown, 26, leads the Lions in receptions (75), receiving yards (884) and receiving touchdowns (nine).
The two-time All-Pro and three-time Pro Bowler has 505 catches for 5,735 yards and 42 TDs in 78 games (70 starts) since Detroit drafted him in the fourth round in 2021.
The Lions have another Thursday game next week, against the visiting Dallas Cowboys, before visiting the Los Angeles Rams on Dec. 14.
