X-rays on Detroit Lions QB Matthew Stafford's ribs are negative but Week 15 status up in air

Detroit Lions interim head coach Darrell Bevell said Monday the team will likely take the decision to the end of the week whether or not to play starting quarterback Matthew Stafford after he injured his ribs in Sunday's loss to Green Bay.

When asked if Stafford had broken any ribs, Bevell said X-rays came back negative, but he did not have more information on the extent of his injury.

"This will be a deal where we take it to the end of the week," Bevell said. "He's a little bit better this afternoon than he was this morning so we'll see how it goes and how he can progress.
