Reports have indicated that team doctors have cleared Detroit Lions' 2nd year star quarterback Matt Stafford to start throwing again in practice after suffering a major shoulder injury in the 1st half of Week 1's game versus the Chicago Bears. The injury was the first insult to the team that day as they were cheated out of their 1st win of the season and 1st road win since October 28th, 2007. Despite the fact that wide receiver stud Calvin Johnson caught a pass in the endzone with less than a minute to play with both feet landing firmly on the ground before he was tackled to the ground, the referees ruled it an incomplete pass due to "process". Calvin dropped the ball as he stood up to celebrate what woud have been the game-winning touchdown.
However, on the bright side, with the franchise quarterback on his way to recovery to join his offensive weapons (Calvin Johnson, Javid Best, Tony Scheffler, Brandon Pettigrew) coupled a stronger defensive line (specifically with the addition of 2nd overall draft pick Ndamukong Suh and Pro-Bowler Kyle Vanden Bosch) from last season, expect big things from the Detroit Lions this season going forward!
Bet on it!
