DETROIT (AP) — Detroit wide receiver Nate Burleson has been activated for Sunday’s game against St. Louis after missing two games with an ankle injury.
The Lions still won’t have quarterback Matthew Stafford, however. Stafford injured his throwing shoulder in the season opener and hasn’t played since. He was on Detroit’s list of inactives along with linebacker DeAndre Levy, who is out with groin and ankle problems.
St. Louis defensive tackle Clifton Ryan, who has missed two games because of migraines, is inactive. Ryan only returned to practice Friday.
