"&lt;p&gt; Dion Lewis will undergo surgery to repair a broken leg. (Diamond Images/Getty Images)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Browns backup running back Dion Lewis, who was carted off the field Thursday night during a preseason game against Detroit, will need surgery to repair his fractured fibula.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In Thursday's game, Lewis had 33 yards on five carries, with his average being padded by a 31-yard run. The Browns are unsure if Lewis will go on injured reserve, reports Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain Dealer.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;With running back Montario Hardesty already projected to miss the first few weeks of the season, backfield depth has become a concern for the Browns. Trent Richardson, the starter, missed the first preseason game with a shin injury. Cleveland has been giving Chris Ogbonnaya a look at fullback.\u00A0&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Lewis, a fifth-round pick of the Eagles in 2011, played in nine games for Philadelphia last season. Cleveland acquired him via a trade for linebacker Emmanuel Acho.\u00A0&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;https://twitter.com/MaryKayCabot/status/368464647130599424&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;https://twitter.com/MaryKayCabot/status/368466647402569729&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
