Amon-Ra St. Brown Not Expected to Go on Injured Reserve
The ankle injury that forced Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown (ankle) to exit his team's Thanksgiving Day loss to the Green Bay Packers in the first quarter is not expected to land him on Injured Reserve, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. Pelissero reports that St. Brown "likely will be week-to-week" going forward. While it sounds like the 26-year-old will return this season, he appears unlikely to play in Detroit's crucial Week 14 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys next Thursday night. St. Brown entered Week 13 with 75 receptions for 884 yards and nine touchdowns on 107 targets, so his absence is a massive blow for both the Lions and fantasy managers alike. With St. Brown sidelined in Week 13, Detroit wideout Jameson Williams recorded seven catches for 144 yards and a touchdown on 10 targets. Rookie wide receiver Isaac TeSlaa recorded a touchdown catch as well, and longtime Lions' practice squad wideout Tom Kennedy hauled in his first four catches of the season. With tight end Sam LaPorta (back) on Injured Reserve, and tight end Brock Wright (neck) and wide receiver Kalif Raymond both questionable for Week 14 after being out against Green Bay, there's ample opportunity for pass-catchers to step up in Detroit behind Williams.
