Some have expressed concerns online regarding the health status of Matthew Stafford going forward. 

Two consecutive seasons with a back injury have heightened everyone's concerns. 

With free agency and the draft in April, it will be interesting to see how the organization addresses the backup quarterback position.

Honestly, yes a little worried. I do think there is a chance this spring he could announce he’s not coming back. It’s not about the money at this stage of life. Considering his health, the health of his wife, and his three children, I wouldn’t blame him.

From what Stafford has stated publicly, he believes he will be ready to participate in offseason workouts and should be ready to resume his career as the starting quarterback of the Lions.
