Lions QB Matthew Stafford was diagnosed with a sprained ankle in Saturday’s loss to the Buccaneers.

Rapoport says the injury is not too serious but it would make sense for the Lions to sit Stafford for Week 17. With the Lions now at 5-10 and set for a head coach and general manager search in the offseason, all the focus is on 2021 and Stafford shouldn’t be anywhere near the field against the Vikings in Week 17. Look for Detroit to turn to Chase Daniel for the start as the Lions wrap up yet another disappointing season that was punctuated by a 47-7 drubbing by Tom Brady (and even Blaine Gabbert) and the Buccaneers.

Matthew Stafford left Saturday’s game against the Buccaneers with an injured foot and will not return.

Chase Daniel took over for Stafford, who was hobbling on the injured foot and went to the locker room. With the Lions being decimated by the Buccaneers, there was no reason to put Stafford back in anyway, as the Lions are headed for their tenth loss of the season.

HC Bevell said same plan with Matthew Stafford this week, taking it day by day.
