Lions' QB Stafford and WR Johnson sit out vs. Packers

Sports Network | October 18, 2009

Green Bay, WI (Sports Network) - Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford and wide receiver Calvin Johnson were both inactive for Sunday's 26-0 loss at Green Bay.

Stafford and Johnson both missed practice Friday and were originally listed as questionable for the NFC North clash.

Stafford took limited snaps during Wednesday's practice, but did not participate on Thursday as he is still battling a right knee injury. He was listed as the emergency third quarterback.

Stafford was forced to sit out last Sunday's loss to Pittsburgh because of the injury sustained in a Week 4 defeat against Chicago.

Daunte Culpepper started the Green Bay game in place of Stafford for the second straight week, but he went down with a right hamstring injury in the third quarter. Drew Stanton finished the game under center for Detroit.

Johnson was out with a thigh injury he suffered in the Week 5 loss to Pittsburgh. He had just one catch for two yards in the game, and has 22 catches for 325 yards and a score this season.
