In a mailbag article hosted by ESPN's Adam Schefter, he explained that Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford was dealing with a hip injury and not a hamstring injury as was originally reported. He went on to say, "I would be surprised if he practiced Wednesday or Thursday, but ultimately, when the game rolls around, he's a tough guy to count out." Stafford has played with minor injuries in the past so for him to sit Week 4 out, as Schefter says, "that tells you how bad the injury is."

The Lions, one of my preseason overrated teams, are a finalist for that spot, but I have them finishing a little bit better than that. However, their defense is atrocious just like last year and Matt Stafford, even if he doesn’t get hurt again, is not going to throw for 5000...

Lions' Hill best of the backups

Via Fox Sports Detroit  |  September 27, 2012
ALLEN PARK, Mich. Its not going to happen in Detroit because Matthew Stafford is clearly established as the face of the franchise. But Shaun Hill is good enough to get a quarterback controversy started in other places.
