    Lions running back Montell Owens (knee) has been placed on short-term injured reserve, meaning he can't practice with the team until after Week 6.

    “Montell can do a lot of different things for a team,â€￾ coach Jim Schwartz told ESPN.com. “He can play special teams. He can run the ball, he can block, he can pass protect and is a very good leader in the locker room.

    “We’re not going to miss his leadership because he’s going to be around. He’s going to be in meetings and stuff like that.â€￾
