ALLEN PARK, MI (WKZO AM/FM) – Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford did not practice yesterday as he continues to deal with a rib injury. Stafford was injured during last week’s loss to Green Bay and the team hopes he will be able to play Sunday against Tennessee.
Wide receiver Kenny Golladay did not take part in drills with a hip injury and center Frank Ragnow was out with a throat injury.
The Lions will reportedly interview ESPN analyst Louis Riddick for the open general manager position. Riddick played in the NFL with San Francisco, Atlanta, Cleveland and Oakland during the 1990’s. He worked in the front office for Washington and Philadelphia before beginning his broadcast career.
Riddick is also considered a candidate for general manager in Atlanta and Houston.
NFL owners are holding off on an expanded 17-game regular season. Owners decided during a conference call to table the discussions until early next year. The NFL and the players’ union previously agreed to add one more game to the schedule, but not before next season.
