Lions quarterback could miss Thursday game with Green Bay Brad Biggs
Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford could miss his third game this season on Thursday as ESPN’s Chris Mortensen reported that he is dealing with a separated left shoulder.
Stafford was injured on the second-to-final play of Sunday’s 38-37 victory over the Cleveland Browns at Ford Field when defensive lineman C.J. Mosley drove him into the turf. Pass interference was called on the play, and Stafford held himself together to throw a one-yard touchdown pass to tight end Brandon Pettigrew for the victory.
Stafford missed two games earlier this season with a dislocated knee cap. The good news is this latest injury is to his non-throwing shoulder. The Lions host the Green Bay Packers on Thanksgiving.

I have a separated shoulder (grade 3) and it is torn AC ligaments not a dilocated shoulder you PUTZ. Suck it up and play, I cried for days after mine and if it is a Grade 3 the guys will be out a few weeks just to be able to play. If he lands on it again with it being a Grade1-2 he will wished he did not!
The two injury types of separated vs. dislocated are very different. Look them up before you put your 1 Cent in!
let's not go wishing for the return of john gruden here. the guy took tony dungy's team to the super bowl and then proceeded to never win another playoff game. in all his years, he never learned how to properly use the replay challenge. he is the king of calling for an 8 yard pass on 3rd and 9. i agree, morris was the wrong call. firing gruden was not.

Suck it up and play, Stafford. Ask Mel Gibson how to slam that shoulder back into place....or are you too young for the Lethal Weapon movies?
