Detroit Lions Week 17 inactives: Matthew Stafford, Frank Ragnow WILL PLAY vs. Vikings

Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford is officially ACTIVE for Sunday’s game against the Minnesota Vikings, and he is expected to start. Despite dealing with injuries to his hand, ribs and ankle, the Lions franchise quarterback will play in Week 17’s game with nothing on the line but pride and draft position. Despite all of his ailments this year, Stafford will have started in every single game this season.

This week, he’ll also get his starting center back, as Frank Ragnow, too, is active. Ragnow had missed the last two games after suffering a fractured throat against the Packers.
