After a week of uncertainty, the Detroit Lions will have starting quarterback Matthew Stafford for Sunday's game against the Minnesota Vikings. The team announced on Saturday that Stafford has been activated off the league's COVID-19 reserve list.
Stafford didn't practice all week, while participating in team meetings virtually. He was officially placed on the reserve list on Wednesday after a high-risk contact earlier in the week with someone infected by the virus.
That required Stafford to quarantine from the team, and his family, for five days to ensure he didn't contract the virus. But after testing negative every day this week, the veteran quarterback was officially cleared to rejoin the Lions in Minnesota.
