ALLEN PARK, Mich. -- Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford said he will be ready to go for the offseason program when it starts in April after suffering a back injury that took away half of his 2019 season.
The 31-year-old missed the final eight games of the year after fracturing bones in his back against the Oakland Raiders on Nov. 3. He practiced the following week but was told he wouldn't play the day before the Lions faced the Chicago Bears on Nov. 10.
He didn't practice or play again this season.
