How much more punishment can Matthew Stafford take?

If there’s one thing that we know about Matthew Stafford, it’s that he’s tough as nails. The first time the city of Detroit fell in love with Stafford was that moment he came back into the game against the Browns with a separated shoulder and threw the game-winning touchdown.

Since then, we’ve seen Stafford play through multiple hand injuries, ankle injuries and, as we just found out this week, a broken back. Feel how you will about the guy, but you can never say that Stafford doesn’t care or that he’s not tough.
