Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown and Green Bay Packers defensive tackle Devonte Wyatt both suffered ankle injuries during Thursday's 31-24 Packers win. St. Brown's injury is expected to be short-term, possibly 1-2 weeks, while Wyatt's injury appears more severe, posing a critical loss for the Packers.
In the Green Bay Packers' 31-24 victory over the Detroit Lions on Thursday, both teams sustained significant injuries to key players. Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown limped off the field in the first quarter after two Detroit linemen rolled into his legs while he was blocking, causing an ankle injury. Coach Dan Campbell expressed optimism, stating it's likely not 'long, long term' and could be a 'week or two' absence for the two-time All-Pro, who boasts 75 catches for 884 yards and nine touchdowns this season. Conversely, Packers defensive tackle Devonte Wyatt was carted off the field late in the game with an ankle injury that coach Matt LaFleur described as not looking 'good,' calling it a 'critical loss' for their defense. Wyatt, a fourth-year pro, had four tackles in the game and four sacks this season. On a positive note for the Lions, cornerback Terrion Arnold and edge rusher Marcus Davenport returned to action after being listed as questionable. Arnold had missed two games with a concussion, and Davenport had been out with a shoulder injury since Week 1. For the Packers, cornerback Keisean Nixon was active after a neck injury last week. However, Green Bay was without starting receiver Matthew Golden, linebacker Quay Walker, and reserve cornerback Nate Hobbs due to injuries. The Lions also had four starters previously ruled out: receiver Kalif Raymond, tight end Brock Wright, center Graham Glasgow, and safety Kerby Joseph.
