Matthew Stafford has been spending a lot of time with his wife this offseason after a tumor was found on her brain, but the Detroit Lions quarterback has still found a way to put in some work with his teammates despite the difficult circumstances at home.
Stafford’s wife Kelly underwent a 12-hour brain surgery recently and returned home just last weekend, and ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports that the Lions told the QB to take as much time off as he needs this offseason. However, he managed to show up for workouts on Monday morning.
With Matthew Stafford’s wife, Kelly, undergoing 12 hours of brain surgery and returning home only last weekend, the Lions told their QB to take as much time off as needed this off-season. Yet Stafford was at the Lions’ training facility first thing Monday morning, ready for work.

Kelly Stafford revealed on social media April 3 that doctors had discovered the tumor, and she shared a positive update over the weekend. The procedure took longer than expected, but early indications have been that she is recovering well. Stafford’s presence at the Lions facility is hopefully a good sign.
