Lions: Stafford to miss Eagles game

The Detroit Lions will start Shaun Hill at quarterback in Sunday's home opener against the Eagles as Matthew Stafford recovers from a shoulder injury.

Coach Jim Schwartz didn't say when Stafford might play again.

"We're going to start Shaun Hill at quarterback on Sunday, and then after that we'll see what happens," Schwartz said.

Stafford was back at practice but stood to the side in his jersey and a baseball cap while Hill and Drew Stanton participated in drills during the portion of practice open to reporters.

Stafford was knocked out of the season opener when Chicago's Julius Peppers sacked him Sunday, putting him on the sideline with a banged-up right shoulder - his third injury in two seasons. Stafford's father, John Stafford, said his son was going to visit renowned orthopedist Dr. James Andrews this week.

Hill took his place during Sunday's 19-14 loss to Chicago and went 9-for-19 for 88 yards with an interception. He had a pass to Calvin Johnson in the end zone ruled incomplete in one of the day's most controversial decisions - the Lions thought they'd scored a go-ahead touchdown.

* New York Giants tight end Kevin Boss is going to miss Sunday's game against Indianapolis with a concussion. Boss has had three concussions since December 2008. He said he has had some headaches, but nothing where he had to go to the trainer for help.

* Three days after getting knocked out of Carolina's season-opening loss to the Giants with a concussion, quarterback Matt Moore practiced and expressed confidence he'll play Sunday against Tampa Bay. He still must pass additional cognitive tests and be cleared by doctors later this week.

* Indianapolis safety Bob Sanders, the 2007 NFL defensive player of the year, had surgery to repair a torn biceps muscle in his right arm, an injury that could end his season. Team officials are not yet saying how much time Sanders could miss.

* Jets running back Shonn Greene says he was taken out of the season opener against Baltimore on Monday night after fumbling twice, and says he blames himself for the loss.

Also, the Jets placed nose tackle Kris Jenkins (torn ACL) on injured reserve and signed defensive tackle Howard Green, who played for them last season.

* Cleveland quarterback Jake Delhomme underwent an MRI of his right ankle. If he can't play, the Browns will start Seneca Wallace on Sunday against Kansas City. Wallace was 5-9 as a starter in seven seasons with Seattle.

* San Diego placed 17-year veteran long snapper David Binn on injured reserve with a hamstring injury, meaning he will miss the rest of the season.

* CBS says former Denver and Baltimore tight end Shannon Sharpe is voluntarily taking a break from his job as an "NFL Today" analyst after a woman obtained a temporary restraining order against him.

A hearing on the order is scheduled for Monday in Atlanta. Documents filed in Fulton County court show Sharpe was ordered not to come within 200 yards of the woman and not to have any contact with her or her family.

The woman says Sharpe forced her to have sex with him. She also says he has threatened her life and is conducting surveillance of her.

* The NFL sent a memo reminding all 32 teams of its equal access and conduct policy toward the media following a TV Azteca reporter's comments that the Jets made her uncomfortable in their locker room last weekend.
