Stafford, 31, was a full participant in
practice on Wednesday and Thursday but was listed as limited on
Friday's injury report.
If Stafford can't go for the Lions (2-0-1), coach Matt Patricia
will turn to either David Blough, an undrafted rookie from
Purdue, or the recently signed Jeff Driskel, who backed up Andy
Dalton in Cincinnati in 2018. The Chiefs enter the game 3-0.
Stafford, the No. 1 pick in the 2009 NFL Draft, has been
remarkably durable since his first two seasons in the league. He
played in all 16 games from 2011 through 2018, as well as all
three games this season -- 131 games in a row, the NFL's
third-longest active starting streak among quarterbacks.
--The Jacksonville Jaguars listed disgruntled cornerback Jalen
Ramsey questionable for their game against the Denver Broncos,
the latest move in a busy week for the All-Pro.
Between calling in sick, reporting back and hamstring injuries,
and being present at the birth of his daughter, Ramsey has not
practiced all week. Earlier this week, Ramsey said on a
satellite radio interview that his trade request -- made
following Week 2 -- still stands.
Thursday Night Fallout
--Philadelphia cornerback Avonte Maddox, who was strapped to a
backboard and stretchered off the field late in the Eagles' win
in Green Bay on Thursday night, was diagnosed with a concussion
and neck injury during an evaluation at the hospital after the
game and was allowed to return home with the team. He collided
with teammate Andrew Sendejo in pass coverage late in the game.
Later Friday, the Eagles signed cornerback Orlando Scandrick,
whom they cut late in preseason.
--ESPN reported that Eagles defensive end Derek Barnett is
unlikely to be suspended for his after-the-whistle,
helmet-to-helmet hit that sent Packers running back Jamaal
Williams to the hospital on a stretcher.
--A day after his career night was cut short by what appeared to
be a foot or toe injury, Green Bay Packers wide receiver Davante
Adams underwent an MRI exam and, according to NFL Network's Ian
Rapoport, the injury is "not believed to be serious." Adams had
10 catches for a career-high 180 yards before the fourth-quarter
injury, then told reporters the injury was akin to turf toe.
More Injury Updates
--The Los Angeles Chargers ruled running back Justin Jackson out
against Miami because of a calf strain, meaning Melvin Gordon
could be asked to play a limited role despite having only two
practices under his belt since June. Gordon ended his protracted
holdout and reported to the Chargers this week, but the original
idea was to get the Pro Bowler ready for Week 5.
--Chiefs running back Damien Williams will miss the Detroit game
because of a knee injury, coach Andy Reid told reporters.
Williams also missed last week's game against the Baltimore
Ravens and did not practice this week. LeSean McCoy (ankle) was
a full practice participant and could be in line for an
increased workload.
--Indianapolis Colts standout linebacker Darius Leonard will
miss his second straight game due to a concussion, coach Frank
Reich told reporters. In addition, star receiver T.Y. Hilton
(quadriceps) is listed as doubtful on the team's injury report
for Sunday's game against the Oakland Raiders. Hilton hasn't
practiced all week.
--New England Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman is listed as
questionable ahead of Sunday's AFC East showdown of unbeatens
against the Buffalo Bills. Edelman, 33, was forced to leave the
Patriots' 30-14 win over the New York Jets in Week 3 after
catching seven passes for 62 yards and a touchdown.
--The Bills listed rookie running back Devin Singletary as
questionable. He is recovering from a hamstring injury suffered
in Week 2 against the New York Giants and did not play last week
against Cincinnati.
--Tennessee tight end Delanie Walker returned to practice and
was cleared to play against the Atlanta Falcons. He missed the
two previous days of practice due to a knee injury.
