As the Detroit Lions returned to practice Tuesday after their bye week, quarterback Matt Stafford also took part in some individual drills. Good signs for the Lions and the St. Louis Rams have to get ready for facing best weapon in Lions jersey in Sunday’s game.
Coach Jim Schwartz refused to reveal about Stafford’s participation in Tuesday’s practice. But he said “I do think the bye came at a good time for getting people healthier, and everyone was able to at least do something, but that’s as far as I will go.”
While taking part in the individual drills that are open to the media, Stafford acknowledged that he wasn’t fully involved in the full-team portion of the session. Backup Daunte Culpepper was also less than 100 percent, but is also hopefully to come back and play with third-stringer Drew Stanton.

Two Lions starters are questionable for Sunday game against Packers
The Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford and wide receiver Calvin Johnson are questionable for Sunday’s game against the Packers at Green Bay, after both missed the team’s practice on Friday.
Stafford has missed four of five practices this week. He suffered a right knee injury on Oct. 8 while playing against the Bears at Chicago. But it seemed that the Lions have not been ready to play without the No. 1 overall draft pick, and Coach Jim Schwartz has said he won’t decide until Sunday morning whether Stafford will be wearing his Lions jersey to play against the Packers.
As for receiver Johnson, he injured his right knee in Sunday’s loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers and skipped Friday’s practice because of the knee injury. As the Detroit’s leading receiver, Johnson is also listed questionable for Sunday’s game.

Triceps Surgery ends season of Lions offensive tackle Cook
As Detroit Lions backup offensive tackle, Damion Cook will unfortunately not be able to play in the regular season. He will have to undergo surgery to repair a triceps injury, according the news released by coach Jim Schwartz on Thursday.
The five-year veteran tackle was signed by the Lions last year before the season. In the seven games he played with the Lions, he started four at guard position, as the replacement of Edwin Mulitalo who was injured during season.
If Cook was not to undergo surgery, he would be probably the back up for Jeff Backus and Gosder Cherilus this season, because he had been in competition for the job with five other tackles during off season.
