Sep 13, 2010

The Lions traded for Shaun Hill in March, gave him a one-year contract extension four months later and turned the keys of their offense over to him Sunday.

The backup quarterback played the entire second half of the Lions' 19-14 season-opening loss to the Bears after starter Matthew Stafford suffered a right shoulder injury.

Stafford could barely move his arm after the game, and his status for next week's home opener against the Eagles is unknown.

"It's my job to be ready no matter what and I feel like that's been my M.O. my whole career," Hill said. "Even when I spent all those years as a (third quarterback), I always felt like I prepared like I was going to play, and it's for situations like this."

Still, Lions coach Jim Schwartz said he was confident in Hill after the game. Drew Stanton is the Lions' third-string quarterback, and the team had no other signal callers in training camp.

"There's a reason we have Shaun Hill on this team," Schwartz said. "That's' cause Shaun's an experienced quarterback and he can lead us to wins. So if Matt's not able to go, we have a lot of belief in Shaun."

A quick update on Raiders quarterback Gardner Minshew: he suffered a broken collarbone against the Broncos and is out for the season.

Fantasy Impact:

We had just posted the quote from head coach Antonio Pierce, saying it didn’t look good. It turned out it wasn’t good. Minshew looked like he was in a lot of pain after taking the his late in the game. Now we have an understanding of that pain. Desmond Ridder came on in relief and the team is expected to activate Aidan O’Connell this week from injured reserve. The Raiders visit Kansas City on Friday.

Antonio Pierce on Gardner Minshew injury: ‘It doesn’t look good.’

Raiders head coach Antonio Pierce said “It doesn’t look good” in regards to the shoulder injury to quarterback Gardner Minshew.

Fantasy Impact:

Minshew went down late in the game against the Broncos after taking a sack and looked to be in quite a bit of pain. He’ll undergo further testing to determine the severity of the injury.

Desmond Ridder came on in replacement. He went 5-of-10 for 64 yards and was sacked twice. If Minshew is to miss time, which looks very likely, the Raiders may look to see what they have in the former Falcons quarterback. Vegas is also expected to have Aidan O’Connell back this week. The Raiders are on a short week as they head to Kansas City on Black Friday.

Romeo Doubs ruled out with concussion

Packers WR Romeo Doubs was ruled out of Sunday’s game against the 49ers with a concussion.

Fantasy Impact:

Doubs suffered the injury while attempting a catch in the end zone and landing hard on the back of his helmet. Doubs will not return tonight and it’s almost certain he’ll be ruled out for Thursday night against the Dolphins. If that’s the case, his next chance to return would be the following Thursday against the Lions.
