On Friday, the Detroit Lions released their final Injury Report for the week and everyone was surprised to see Matthew Stafford listed as questionable with a hip issue.

But according to a report from ESPN’s Michael Rothstein, Stafford’s hip is not the issue, it’s his back that is flaring up again.
A source told ESPN’s Dan Graziano that Stafford’s issue is actually with his back; he has had problems with it in the past and it flared up again this week. The feeling is that Stafford likely will play Sunday, the source said, but the Lions plan to continue to monitor and examine him over the weekend.
Are the Lions trying to cover up Stafford’s back injury? If so, how much of a problem will it give him this Sunday against the Kanas City Chiefs?
