Let Λ be a complete R-order in the semi-simple K-algebra A. Then it has been shown that for each indecomposable Λ-lattice M which is not projective, there exists a unique almost split sequence 0 → N → E → M → 0. Here we study the middle term E and characterize those almost split sequences where E has a projective direct summand. In the case where Λ is the group-ring RG for a finite group G, we get information about the almost split sequences for the syzygies and apply our results in an example.
