The Detroit Lions fired head coach Matt Patricia and general manager Bob Quinn on Saturday after two straight seasons under .500 and a third season where the team was again under .500 at midseason.

Patricia's record was 13-29-1 since taking over as the Lions coach in 2018. Quinn had been the team's GM since 2016, and the Lions were 31-43-1 during his tenure.

Matthew Stafford hurt his thumb early in Sunday's win over the Washington Football Team, but the Detroit Lions are hopeful he won't miss any time.

X-rays on the quarterback's thumb were negative. The Lions are scheduled to face the Carolina Panthers in Week 11.

"I've got to go get it looked at," Stafford said. "I don't know what happened. It was on a play where I got sacked, they had a personal foul, so the next time I gripped the ball to throw it, it didn't feel so hot."

Stafford finished the day 24-of-33 for 276 yards and three touchdowns.

Matthew Stafford has been placed by the Detroit Lons on the Reserve/COVID-19 list.

Stafford has a QBR of 65.3 through seven games this season.
