BEREA, Ohio -- Cleveland Browns running back Jamal Lewis did not practice Wednesday because of a hamstring injury, leaving his status for Sunday's game at Baltimore in question.

Lewis, who has rushed for 95 yards through two games, showed no signs of injury during a 27-6 loss on Sunday in Denver. He finished with 38 yards on 14 carries.

The Browns did not provide any specifics on Lewis's injury, but listed him as "did not participate in practice" along with guards Rex Hadnot (knee) and Floyd Womack (ankle).

Lewis was listed as probable on the injury report with a neck injury last week after suffering a stinger in the season-opening loss to Minnesota.

The Browns (0-2) badly need Lewis this week. They'll be facing Baltimore's top-ranked run defence, which is yielding just 41 yards per game. If Lewis can't go, rookie James Davis and Jerome Harrison are likely to share playing time.

Lewis, one of only 24 running backs in NFL history to top 10,000 yards, played for the Ravens from 2000-'06 before signing with the Browns as a free agent.
