Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford gave fans a bit of a scare when he had to wear a glove after injuring his middle finger during Sunday’s game against the Chicago Bears.
Stafford seemed to jam his finger a bit after a hit from Leonard Floyd, and he began testing out gloves to continue to play.

Stafford continued to wear the glove into the second half, though he didn’t seem to be impacted much by it. His glove changes were also the subject of a CBS graphic.

Stafford’s issue didn’t appear to be nearly as severe as this recent finger injury. If that one was overcome, it’s no surprise Stafford managed to return from his.
