"The Lions are worried that they may have lost quarterback Matthew Stafford for the season with a separated shoulder, a source told Booth Newspapers in Michigan. Stafford suffered the injury late in 23-20 loss to the Jets on Sunday. Stafford underwent tests Monday and the Lions have had no comment (WEEI)."
There have been far too many injuries to this shoulder, and while I do believe he could've been a very good QB, I just don't believe he is ever going to be able to stay on the field. This is terrible news for the Lions, who have a lot of the right pieces to finally become relevant again. Now they are stuck with a very heavy contract for Stafford, and really no future at QB (unless they believe in Stanton). Typical Lions luck, and I really do hope I'm wrong, how can someone keep coming back from all these shoulder injuries?
***UPDATE***
QB Matthew Stafford has a grade 3 shoulder separation, MLive.com is reporting. Stafford will reportedly seek a second opinion from Dr. James Andrews, an orthopedic surgeon. If the diagnosis is confirmed, Stafford will likely be out for the season.
