(TheHuddle) Detroit Lions QB Shaun Hill (forearm) is working with the first-team offense during practice Wednesday, Nov. 10, reports Dave Birkett, of the Detroit Free Press. He was handing off using his left forearm and took snaps from the shotgun. Analysis: Hill is working his way back from a fractured forearm, but with Matthew Stafford out he may expedite his return and be in the lineup Sunday. Hill was a more than capable fill-in while Stafford was injured earlier and would be in line to help fantasy teams this week against the Bills.
 
After Hill, Who is next in line at QB for the Lions?


Hear Jamarcus is still looking for a team to screwup.
 
Hill to Start at Buffalo
Posted by Tara Altman on November 10, 2010 – 2:50 pm


Head Coach Jim Schwartz announced this afternoon following practice that “barring any set back this week,” QB Shaun Hill will be the starter against the Bills.

Hill fractured his forearm against the NY Giants prior to the Lions’ bye week and was inactive against the Redskins.

Schwartz on Hill’s injury: “He’s been clear. He was in a position last week that we kept him active as our third quarterback. We dressed him as our third quarterback. He could hand off, he could do all those different things. He wasn’t really in a position to take a hit. But he can play with a cast and another week will be good for it. That will close him right in at four weeks. The doctors feel good about that. Shaun will be ready, barring any setbacks.”

Hill says that “everything feels fine,” and is looking forward to the opportunity.

Hill: “It feels good. I’m full-go. Last weekend I had a splint that went all the way into the palm of my hand and I had no wrist mobility in it until Sunday. Since I’ve gotten the wrist back, a lot of things have changed. It had more to do with finding out where we were and getting a different splint.”
 
sounds like a real chance here. Why risk him getting injured again. Why dont they make him back up and put in the 3rd string qb unless needed. The Lions cant afford to lose another qb to injury. FA market is pretty skimpy right now, just full of never was, or has beens.
 
The Lions should draft Andrew Luck or Ryan Mallett next year. It's time to throw in the towel on Matt "Glass" Stafford.

Yes they should but they don't have the salary space to do so. More importantly, they are not going to give up on Stafford. He is the face of the franchise (even though he never plays) and they are paying him huge dollars.
