Lions rule out Ansah for Packers; Levy, Williams doubtful

The Detroit Lions won't have their best pass rusher on the field for Sunday's game against the Green Bay Packers.

The Lions ruled defensive end Ziggy Ansah out for Sunday's trip to Lambeau Field with a sprained ankle he suffered last week against the Tennessee Titans.

Ansah did not practice this week, and ESPN reported he is seeking opinion on his injury.

Linebackers DeAndre Levy (quad) and Antwione Williams (hamstring) are officially doubtful for Sunday, with neither is expected to play.
