Injuries may leave Lions short-handed vs. Browns

ALLEN PARK, MI (AP) --       ALLEN PARK, Mich. (AP) - Detroit Lions coach Jim Schwartz isn't
sure how many players his team will be missing Sunday against the
Cleveland Browns.
      Several Lions players were injured in a 27-10 loss to Minnesota,
but he only had a definitive status on defensive back Jack Williams
on Monday afternoon. Williams suffered a "significant" knee
injury on the first play from scrimmage in the second half, and
will be placed on injured reserve.
      Schwartz seemed most concerned about right guard Stephen
Peterman, who injured his ankle and was undergoing more tests on
Monday. The Lions have struggled all season to find a starting left
guard, and don't have an obvious choice to replace Peterman.
