Matthew Stafford (ribs) could play for Lions without practice
Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford could play in Sunday's Week 15 game against the Tennessee Titans without practicing, per interim head coach Darrell Bevell.
What It Means:
Stafford didn't practice Wednesday and Bevell said the Lions will take the decision to the end of the week. The Lions reportedly aren't "overly optimistic" about Stafford's chances to play this week against the Titans. Chase Daniel came off the bench in relief on Sunday and will likely start if Stafford is unavailable. Daniel's last start came in 2013.
After Stafford exited last Sunday, Jones, Hockenson, and D'Andre Swift each led the Lions with a 33.3 percent target share. The Titans are allowing the sixth-most FanDuel points per game to the quarterback position this season.
