The Facts: Stafford didn't break any bones in his hand when he injured it during last Sunday's loss to the Ravens, but that doesn't mean he's sure to be under center against the Buccaneers this Sunday.

Diehards Line: HC Jim Caldwell said on Monday that the quarterback was sore and provided another update on Wednesday. Caldwell said, via Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press, that Stafford has made progress since Sunday but is “not out of the woods yet. He’s got to be able to function … And obviously this one’s going to take work,” Caldwell said. If he doesn’t, Jake Rudock will be in line for his first NFL start.
