Matthew Stafford Says He'll Be Ready For Offseason Program
5 years agoDetroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford (back), who missed the final eight games of the season with a back injury, said he currently feels really good physically and expects to be ready for the team's offseason program in March without any limitations. At the time of his injury in Week 9 against the Raiders, Stafford was completing 64.3 percent of his passes for 2,499 yards, 19 touchdowns, five interceptions and a passer rating of 106.0. He was leading the NFL in 20-plus yard completions (41) and had a career-best yards-per-attempt average of 8.6. Back injuries to end the last two seasons might be worrisome for fantasy owners heading into the 2020 season, but Stafford's play before his injury in 2019 should make most confident that he'll be at least a low-end QB1 next season.
