| Lions Want To Bring QB Matthew Stafford Along Slowly In Workouts | | | The Detroit Lions will open their off-season workout program next week and quarterback Matthew Stafford, coming off of minor knee surgery, will be able to participate in all of the drills. But he won't. The Lions will bring Stafford along slowly and build his workload as he goes along. "He's ready to go,'' Lions head coach Jim Schwartz said. "There are probably some things that he'll take a little bit slower, I don't think he's going to have a whole lot of restrictions. There's nothing he can't do, it's just a matter of getting him back up to speed and back into the shape he needs to be in.'' Source: MLive.com | | |
