ALLEN PARK, Mich. -- The Detroit Lions might be down yet another starter for extended time.

Right guard Larry Warford, who injured his left knee during the first quarter of Detroit's 20-16 win Sunday over Miami, could be out awhile.

"He's going to be [out] a little bit," coach Jim Caldwell said. "They are continuing to look at him [Monday] and kind of see where we are. But hopefully young guys heal fast, so we'll see."

The Lions will replace Warford with Travis Swanson, a rookie from Arkansas. Swanson filled in for Warford after his injury against the Dolphins.

Warford joins a litany of Detroit players who have missed time this season, including running back Reggie Bush, wide receiver Calvin Johnson, tight ends Joseph Fauria and Eric Ebron, right tackle LaAdrian Waddle, defensive tackle Nick Fairley, middle linebacker Stephen Tulloch, cornerbacks Nevin Lawson and Bill Bentley, and safety James Ihedigbo.

All of those players have missed at least two games because of injury and were either starters or expected starters at the time of their injuries.

Caldwell was mum on the injury to Waddle, who left Sunday's game in the second half and had a wrap on his left leg. He wouldn't say whether Waddle aggravated a calf injury that cost him nearly the entire first month of the season.

He also said Bush was somewhat limited by injury during the second half of Sunday's win.

"He just got a little nicked up during the course of the game," Caldwell said. "So he just wasn't able to do quite as much as he'd like."

Bush had four carries for 20 yards and one catch for 5 yards.
