This past Sunday against the Dallas Cowboys, Detroit Lions defensive back Quandre Diggs was forced to leave the game early with an injured hand.
On Tuesday, we woke up to a report that Diggs actually fractured a bone in his hand and that it was not clear how much time he would miss.

Then, on Wednesday, Diggs was seen practicing lightly with a black cast on his hand, giving us hope that he would be able to give it a go this coming Sunday against the Green Bay Packers.

On Thursday, Diggs was at practice again and when it was finished he was reportedly asked if he thinks he will play on Sunday and his response was perfect.
“I don’t know. You’ll have to ask God.” Diggs said.
Reporter: You think you'll play Sunday?

You guys think I should text or call?

Diggs also told reporters to check the injury report for his status.
“What’s today, Thursday?,” Diggs said. “What did the injury report say? Whatever the injury report says, that’s what I say.”
Well, here is the Lions’ injury report for Thursday. As you can see, Diggs is listed as limited for both Wednesday and Thursday.
It is really looking like Diggs will be a game-time decision for the Lions.
Other Injury Notes:
Eli Harold, T.J. Lang, Nevin Lawson, and Michael Roberts all missed practice completely on Thursday. LeGarrette Blount returned to practice but was limited after missing Wednesday’s practice with an illness.
New to the practice report today was rookie Da’Shawn Hand, who was limited with an ankle injury.

Green Bay Packers’ QB Aaron Rodgers loves him some ‘Matty Stafford’
This coming Sunday, Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers will invade Ford Field to take on Matthew Stafford and the Detroit Lions.
Rodgers has long been one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL and is considered to be one of the greatest signal-callers of all time. After all, he has two NFL MVP awards, has been to the Pro Bowl six times, and has a Super Bowl championship to his name.
Stafford, on the other hand, despite putting up gaudy numbers throughout his career, has yet to really get the respect he has earned. He has yet to lead the Lions to a playoff victory and many (who are clueless and do not understand that football is a team sport) blame him.
Well, Rodgers happens to be quite the fan of Stafford and he is not afraid to say so.
