ALLEN PARK, Mich. — The Matthew Stafford watch is back on in Detroit.
Stafford is day to day after hurting his right ankle late in the Lions’ 23-16 loss to the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday.
Coach Jim Schwartz said Monday that Stafford wore a protective boot after the game. Schwartz wouldn’t go into any details about X-rays or an MRI, but he did hint that any tests that may have been done weren’t overly worrisome.
“If they were, he would be more than day to day,” Schwartz said. “If he had a broken bone, he would be more than day to day.”
Stafford wasn’t in the locker room Monday when it was open to reporters.
Schwartz had said after the game the team would look at Stafford’s ankle and knee. He said Monday the ankle was the main issue.
“We will see where he is on Wednesday and hopefully we can get him back on the practice field, but he is no more than day to day,” Schwartz said.
The Lions play at the Broncos on Sunday.
