Lions QB Stafford is possible to play against Steelers

The Detroit Lions Coach Jim Schwartz said Monday that Matthew Stafford was possible to be healthy enough to play against the Pittsburgh Steelers. At the moment, the No. 1 pick in the NFL draft is day to day and more information would be available on Wednesday.

Stafford’s right knee was twisted on a sack in the fourth quarter of Sunday’s loss against the Chicago Bears and he immediately grabbed behind it and screamed in pain on the ground. Daunte Culpepper replaced him and would take over the starting job at home against the defending champion Steelers if Stafford is still unable to play by then.

But coach Schwartz insisted that wouldn’t necessarily rule Stafford out even if he could not practice after Tuesday’s off day. He declined to say if Stafford’s kneecap is dislocated., sticking by one of his policies, limiting information he shares about injuries.
