Lions' QB Stafford limited again, WR Johnson returns to practice

Sports Network | October 29, 2009

Detroit, MI (Sports Network) - Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford was limited in practice for the second straight day, while wide receiver Calvin Johnson returned to practice after sitting out Wednesday.

Johnson, like Stafford, was limited in practice due to a nagging knee injury. The former Georgia Tech star sat out the game two weeks ago against Green Bay and was able to rest during the Lions' bye week.

Stafford sat out Weeks 5 and 6 with a right knee injury he sustained in a Week 4 loss to Chicago.

It is currently unknown if either player will suit up Sunday against the Rams. If Stafford is unable to play, it's probable that Daunte Culpepper would get a third consecutive start.
