He threw a few passes in one end zone as his teammates stretched, then wandered over to the other side of the field when individual drills began.

Matthew Stafford wore a red no-contact jersey at the start of Detroit Lions practice Wednesday, and more significantly, a backward baseball cap.

Stafford did not practice because of the back injury that sidelined him for last week's game against the Chicago Bears, leaving his status for Sunday's game against the Dallas Cowboys in doubt.
