NFL: Lions QB Stafford will rest shoulder vs. Ravens


Associated Press

ALLEN PARK, Mich. — Detroit Lions coach Jim Schwartz says the team plans to rest Matthew Stafford’s injured shoulder against Baltimore and Daunte Culpepper will start.

The coach made the announcement Wednesday. Stafford aggravated his left (non-throwing) shoulder Sunday at Cincinnati.
The No. 1 pick in the 2009 NFL draft gained some fame when he hurt the shoulder Nov. 22 against Cleveland. He put himself back in the game after getting injured and threw his fifth touchdown pass with no time on the clock.
Stafford has thrown 13 TDs and 20 interceptions in 10 games. He missed two games with an injured right knee.
