ALLEN PARK, Mich. -- Detroit Lions wide receiver Charles Rogers will miss Friday's preseason game against the Cleveland Browns with a knee injury.
After Thursday's workout, coach Rod Marinelli said the fourth-year receiver would not play against the Browns. Rogers missed the last three days of practice with soreness in his knee.
Rogers is battling for a roster spot with rookie Shaun Bodiford and Glenn Martinez, who played in NFL Europe after spending most of last season on Detroit's practice squad.
Rogers was an All-American at Michigan State before being selected second overall in the 2003 draft. He scored two touchdowns in his first game, but has only four total.
He saw limited time in Detroit's preseason opener, catching one pass, and had little action with the top offensive units in practice.[/b]
