ALLEN PARK, Mich. -- Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford is officially questionable for Sunday's game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers with a bruised right hand.
Stafford practiced on a limited basis all week with tape on his right ring and pinkie fingers. Each day in front of the media, Stafford's throwing amount and velocity improved - from none Wednesday to light throwing Thursday and then more complete throws Friday.
On Friday, Lions coach Jim Caldwell said Stafford was "progressing" and that the quarterback threw the ball "decently" Thursday.
