Lions QB Matthew Stafford Ready To Take Over High-Scoring Offense
Matthew Stafford had a few beads of sweat on his forehead as he stood in front of his locker talking to reporters after a 2-hour practice Wednesday. It was a welcome change for the second-year quarterback, whose media interaction most of the previous six weeks consisted of uncomfortable conversations after missed workouts.
Stafford said his separated throwing shoulder "feels good" after a week's worth of practice, and he remains on target to start his second game of the year Sunday against the Redskins.
The No. 1 pick in last year's draft, Stafford has missed as many games as he has played -- 11 -- in his NFL career.
