It's looking more likely the Detroit Lions will be without Jared Goff on Sunday against the Cleveland Browns.

Goff missed practice Wednesday with an oblique injury, allowing Tim Boyle to get first-team reps at quarterback.

"It's more functionally," Goff said. "The pain is whatever, I can mask that. It's being able to function fully. We'll see.

"If I can throw it as hard as I want to and it doesn't pull on me, then I can go. If not, then I can't."

The start would be the first of Boyle's career.
