How bad is Matthew Stafford's back injury? Bad enough to postpone his regular media session at least.

Stafford was limited for a fifth straight practice Thursday by an injury he suffered in the Lions' Dec. 2 loss to the Los Angeles Rams, and he spent so much time in the training room getting treatment after practice that he had to delay his weekly Thursday news conference.
