Allen Park — Matthew Stafford is hurting once again. The Detroit Lions ironman quarterback was limited during Thursday's practice with hip and back injuries.
There's currently no reason to believe Stafford, in the midst of one of the best season's of his career, is jeopardy of missing this Sunday's game against the Chicago Bears. He's currently working on a starting streak that has reached 136 games, the second-longest among active quarterbacks and sixth-longest all-time for the position.
In addition to Stafford, four Lions players sat out practice and three others were limited.
