Browns' standout stabbed by fianc & eacute;e

The Cleveland running back is already serving a four-game suspension.
WESTLAKE (AP) -- William Green's off-the-field problems are worsening.
Cleveland's troubled running back was stabbed in the back on Wednesday, and his fiancee has been arrested on charges she assaulted him in their home.
Asia Gray, who earlier in the day made an emergency call to police saying Green had cut himself, was arrested for felonious assault and domestic violence.
Green sustained a puncture wound under his left shoulder blade during a fight, police said.
Gray, 22, who has had two children with Green, is being held in city jail pending arraignment in Rocky River Municipal Court.
"It's sad that he was involved in a situation like that," Browns coach Butch Davis said. "Certainly his teammates and coaches are glad it was not more severe."
Green, who was arrested last month on drunken driving charges and is currently under suspension for violating the NFL's substance-abuse program, told police earlier in the day that he was injured when he fell down stairs.
Green's wound did not require stitches. Team president Carmen Policy said Green's wound was caused "by a sharp instrument, perhaps a steak knife."
What happened
Police responded to a 911 call from Green's home Wednesday morning from an upset Gray, who in a high-pitched voice requested an ambulance for her boyfriend.
An emergency vehicle was sent, but Green was not there when it arrived. Police Capt. Guy Turner believes Gray drove Green to St. John-Westshore Hospital accompanied by the couple's 10-week-old baby girl. Green was treated there before being transferred to MetroHealth Medical Center in Cleveland -- about 10 miles away -- which has a trauma unit better equipped for such injuries.
Turner said Green's injury was not life-threatening, and said Green was expected to remain hospitalized overnight.
The player's sports utility vehicle was impounded, and police sealed his home before acquiring warrants and searching his residence and vehicle late Wednesday night.
Detectives concluded their search around 11 p.m., removing 17 items from the home.
Other problems
Green was suspended for four games last week by the NFL for violating the league's substance-abuse policy. He was arrested Oct. 27 on DUI charges and marijuana possession. The Browns suspended him for the Nov. 9 game at Kansas City for "conduct detrimental to the team", and the league will count that game as part of its suspension.
Under terms of his league suspension, Green is not permitted to be at the team's training facility and the Browns are not allowed to have contact with him.
Policy said the Browns are hoping the league will make an exception and permit the club to help Green deal with his problems and aid his recovery.
Browns owner Randy Lerner visited Green in the hospital, but league spokesman Steve Alic said the team did not violate league rules by seeing their player.
