MINNEAPOLIS — Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford has been cleared to play in today's game against the Minnesota Vikings after his most recent COVID-19 test came back negative.
Stafford, who is with the Lions in Minnesota, is expected to start at quarterback after missing practice all week.
The Lions took Stafford off the reserve/COVID-19 list on Saturday, three days after placing him on it because of a close contact he had with an infected person.
Stafford spent most of the week in isolation, including from his family, but took part in meetings and walk-throughs virtually in preparation for Sunday's game.
