Lions' Garcia questionable for Sunday

Detroit Lions quarterback Jeff Garcia completed his first full week of practice since breaking his left fibula and suffering a high ankle sprain in the preseason, and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Cleveland. The 35-year-old Garcia was hurt on September 2 when he was tackled high by Bills' cornerback Terrence McGee after running down the right sideline on a 23-yard scramble. Garcia appeared to get his left ankle caught on the turf, while McGee brought him down. Head coach Steve Mariucci has not decided whether Garcia or Joey Harrington will be under center. If Mariucci does go with Garcia, though, it would mark his first start since last year when he played with Cleveland. Harrington has struggled this season, going 76-of-143 for 798 yards with just four touchdowns and eight interceptions. However, despite the quarterback's lackluster campaign, the Lions (2-3) are currently tied with Chicago for first place in the NFC North. In other team news, wide receiver Roy Williams missed practice all week and is listed as questionable with a quadriceps injury. Williams, who has 12 catches for 187 yards with a score, also missed last week's game versus Carolina due to the same injury.
