Some unexpected and undesirable news comes out of Detroit Lions practice on Wednesday. Quarterback Matthew Stafford did not participate in the portion of practice open to the media, and he was not spotted in the team facility.
The Lions gave no indication for the absence. Stafford was at the team facility on Monday, and the entire team was off on Tuesday for the league-wide honoring of Election Day.
Head coach Matt Patricia did not bring up Stafford’s availability during his pre-practice press conference. After practice, wide receiver Marvin Hall gave an update on the quarterback’s status in his own Zoom session with the media.
Marvin Hall: Stafford should be fine, he should be there
