Back injury
Lions’ QB Matthew Stafford is being told by some not to play Sunday in Chicago because of a back injury that has left him questionable, but he is hoping to try to play through the pain, per sources. No decision is likely until pregame warmups. (Adam Schefter on Twitter)
Nerdy Football Analysis: Stafford has played every game since the 2011 season so it’s likely he’ll give it a go despite being limited in practice this week. If he doesn’t Jeff Driskel would get the start and be a downgrade to all the Detroit pass catchers.
