ALLEN PARK — Quarterback Matthew Stafford was back at practice this morning which is huge news for the Lions. Stafford practiced Tuesday and wouldn’t have practiced today if his injured right knee had a bad reaction to Tuesday’s workout. The next big test will be to see if he can practice on Thursday. It’s still too early to say he’ll start on Sunday against the winless St. Louis Rams, but it’s definitely a good sign that he could practice two days in a row.

Stafford injured his knee on Oct. 4 during the loss at Chicago. He’s missed two games since then. He had practiced on Oct. 14, but it was just a one-day deal because there was some swelling afterward.
