Allen Park – Matthew Stafford continues to trend in the right direction heading into Sunday’s game at Tampa Bay.
Stafford, who still has his pinky and ring fingers taped, threw the ball with plenty of zip and was precise on intermediate and deep throws during the open portion of Friday’s practice.
Prior to practice, Lions coach Jim Caldwell said Stafford’s injured throwing hand is “progressing” but fell short of saying he expected the quarterback to start his 109th consecutive game.
