Tom Kowalski, of Mlive.com, reports Detroit Lions QB Matthew Stafford (knee) is still not 100 percent healthy. Head coach Jim Schwartz said, "Sometimes, he gets up and he can't put pressure on his knee and he hobbles his way off the field." Schwartz has praised Stafford for being able to play through the injury. Schwartz added, "We didn't know how he would deal with an injury and how he would play through it. He's proved that through the last couple weeks."
| Our view: This is actually good if you're a Calvin Johnson owner, because it shows room for improvement in the Lions passing game beyond the typical maturation of a rookie QB and second-year WR. |
