Matthew Stafford Profile

Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford may have suffered a dislocated knee cap, sources told NFL Network's Jason La Canfora.

Stafford suffered the injury in the fourth quarter of Sunday's 48-24 loss to Chicago, leaving the contest after passing for nearly 300 yards.

Although the extent of the injury won't be known until Monday's MRI results, reports are mixed: some have stated Stafford could miss next week's contest against Pittsburgh, while others believe the injury is relatively minor and will only require day-to-day observation.

We'll have more on Stafford's injury as it becomes available.
