While the final game of the regular season is important, the Detroit Lions showed how significant they believe their upcoming offseason program will be by making the decision to place rookie quarterback Matthew Stafford on the injured reserve list.

Because it was unlikely Stafford would play next week against the Chicago Bears, the team decided to make the move to ensure he would be completely healthy for the offseason program.

Unlike last year, when Stafford was going through the draft process on his way to becoming the first overall pick, now all of his time will be devoted to the Lions.

“My focus will be in one spot instead of ‘Where am I going to be?’ and all that kind of stuff,” Stafford said. “I know where I’m going to be and what we’re trying to do here. I’ll be able to focus on that.”

Stafford has been sidelined for the past two weeks with a separated left shoulder and wasn’t expected to play Sunday against the San Francisco 49ers. But that’s not why he’s going on IR. Stafford has been dealing with a right knee injury for most of the season and he will undergo a “minor knee procedure” Tuesday.
