Matthew Stafford (rib/right thumb) sits out another Lions practice
Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford (rib, right thumb) remained sidelined at Thursday's practice.
What It Means:
Stafford also missed Wednesday's practice. Lions interim head coach Darrell Bevell has already said the quarterback could play in Sunday's Week 15 game against the Tennessee Titans without practicing and that the team will wait until closer to gameday before making a final decision. Chase Daniel came off the bench in relief in Week 14 and will likely start if Stafford is unavailable. That would be a significant downgrade for Marvin Jones, T.J. Hockenson, D'Andre Swift, and the entire Lions' offense.
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.
