It could be a very tough task for the Lions this Sunday when they head to Lambeau Field to take on the Packers, as both QB Matthew Stafford (knee) and standout WR Calvin Johnson (knee) are listed as questionable.
Stafford, who sat out last week against the Steelers, was held out of practice on Friday. He practiced just once this week, on Wednesday, and it was only on a limited basis. Johnson, who was injured in the first quarter of the Pittsburgh game, didn’t practice all week.
The Packers, it appears, will get a slight boost to their ailing offensive line, as LT Chad Clifton (ankle) is listed as probable after missing the previous two games. Green Bay, however, will still be without RT Mark Tauscher (knee) despite making his return to practice this week on a limited basis after a 10-month layoff.
