Matt Stafford’s return from knee injury took a big step forward on Tuesday afternoon when the No. 1 pick practiced with the rest of the team. The Detroit media was only allowed to see the beginning portion of the practice and filed this report.
Stafford Practices On Tuesday
Stafford’s status for Sunday’s game against the St. Louis Rams won’t be better known until Wednesday when team officials will see if there’s any swelling in Stafford’s knee. If there’s swelling, Stafford will likely be out for Sunday’s game. If there is no swelling, Stafford will continue to practice and a decision on whether he’ll start will probably be made later in the week.
During his reps today, Stafford had mobility, but didn’t look totally comfortable or fluid.
We’ll keep tracking Stafford’s status throughout the week, but it wasn’t all good news for the rookie QB. His main target, Calvin Johnson, did not practice.
