Lions coach Jim Schwartz won’t say much about the status of quarterback Matthew Stafford. But that doesn’t make it impossible to know what’s up with the quarterback’s leg.

Per a league source, Stafford has a hamstring issue. For now, the expectation is that he should be OK.

As of Sunday, it wasn’t clear whether Stafford had an injury to his hamstring or, yes, his butt muscle.

Since the Lions likely won’t be saying much about Stafford’s status, it’ll be important to watch the injury reports as the week unfolds, in order to know whether and to what extend Stafford will be limited in his preparation for Sunday’s game against the Vikings.
