Drayton Florence Injury: Lions CB Could Miss Significant Time

Detroit Lions cornerback Drayton Florence could miss multiple games -- and possibly the remainder of the season -- with a right forearm injury, according to Anwar Richardson of Mlive.com. Florence sustained the injury in the second half of the Lions' 27-19 loss to the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday night.

Lions head coach Jim Schwartz wasn't too positive about the situation during his comments to the press on Monday:

"He's in the process right now of going through it (evaluations)," Schwartz said. "He got some preliminary stuff at the stadium, but he's going to have some more stuff. It doesn't look real good, but we'll see."

While Schwartz was certainly vague about the details of the injury, he also appears to be quite concerned about it. And for good reason; the Lions are already dealing with injuries to three other defensive backs. Bill Bentley, Chris Houston and Louis Delmas missed Sunday's game, and it's possible that none of the three will be ready for Detroit's Week 3 contest against the Tennessee Titans.
