Bears catch a huge "break"
Quote:
Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford has fractured bones in his back, and doctors will not let him play Sunday against the Chicago Bears, a source told ESPN.
Stafford was practicing Friday and throwing 60-yard passes, but doctors wanted him to have further testing on his painful back injury, according to multiple sources.
Stafford is now considered week-to-week with an injury that one source said could sideline him for "this week or 3 weeks." Stafford had started 136 consecutive regular-season games entering Sunday, the sixth-longest streak for a quarterback in NFL history.
