DETROIT (AP) -- Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford was in the starting lineup Thursday against Green Bay, less than a week after separating his non-throwing shoulder.

The rookie passer and receiver Calvin Johnson (knee) each missed three days of practice after suffering injuries in Sunday's dramatic win over Cleveland.

Lions linebacker Ernie Sims was out with a hamstring injury, defensive end Dewayne White with a hurt toe and safety Ko Simpson with a knee injury. All three are starters.

The Packers, who lost linebacker Aaron Kampman and cornerback Al Harris to knee injuries last Sunday, started center Scott Wells, who missed two practices with a sore knee.
