Matthew Stafford originally injured his right shoulder early in the second quarter of the Detroit Lions' Week 9 game against the New York Jets, but he continued to play effectively until suffering a game-ending shoulder separation with six minutes left in the game, sources confirmed Sunday. It is unknown if Stafford suffered any serious damage on the second-quarter hit but Stafford continued to play and made some effective throws. Stafford is scheduled to visit Dr. James Andrews on Monday to determine if surgery is necessary. MLive.com first reported this week that Stafford has a Grade 3 shoulder separation. Normally, an operation is required for an injury of nature. After consulting a preliminary MRI, Dr. Andrews has informed Stafford and the Lions that he believes Stafford's Grade 3 shoulder separation is not as severe as what Sam Bradford suffered last season at Oklahoma, according to sources.
