ALLEN PARK, Mich. -- Talking to the media with the tip of his dislocated right middle finger taped Wednesday morning, Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford said he doesnt anticipate anything in the teams game plan changing Sunday against the New York Giants.And he said he even told offensive coordinator Jim Bob Cooter after the injury against the Chicago Bears last week not to worry about him and to just keep calling the game.We went and played. Even last Sunday, Jim Bob was like, What kind of limitations, Stafford said. I said Just call the game. Dont worry about me. Ill figure it out. So plan on being the same way, you know, this week.Stafford said the right middle finger, which was injured when he clapped hands with Chicago linebacker Leonard Floyd, feels about the same, but hes continuing to get treatment on it.He said hes still working through whether hell wear a glove Sunday against the Giants and said if he does, itll be because of functionality and not for his state of mind or comfort. He didnt want to get into the specifics of what hes doing to figure out whether hell wear a glove but said hell try to practice as if hes playing Sunday -- glove or not.He said the issues with grip and velocity after the injury against the Bears were due to both the glove and the injured finger but probably more so the injury I would think. Stafford said he has no issues handing off with the injured digit.Stafford said he might have to adjust to timing routes if his velocity is still off, but it may not be. Well kind of see throughout the week. Thats something that just kind of comes naturally, what you got in the tank and you just play from there.Stafford wore a glove during practice Wednesday, but not a standard glove. From a distance, it appeared to be more like a weightlifting glove - with the fingers exposed - except for the middle finger, which was more covered higher up the finger. The top of the middle finger was also covered, possibly with the same tape he was wearing when he spoke to the media earlier Wednesday.He threw consistently during the open portion of practice and seemed to be OK while throwing it. It didnt appear like he was throwing full speed, although he hardly ever does during individual drills.Lions coach Jim Caldwell said the team is still working through options and they might take all the way up until game day to figure out the best solution.Its not a matter of toughness with him. It never has been with him. Hes a very tough-minded, tough physically individual that battles through a lot of stuff, Caldwell said. Thats a weekly thing at that position because you get, often times some of the hits you take can certainly have an effect on you, so you gotta battle through a lot of stuff.Hes never shown any reservations in that area. Just gotta work at it just like he does every other week and well see where he is. Ted Ginn Jr Jersey . As the crowd erupted, Davis knocked the ball off the glass and back into his hands. With 1:14 to go in overtime, Davis sixth block also became his 17th rebound. That, along with his 32 points -- which tied a career high -- proved too much for Denver to overcome, and the Pelicans held on for their third straight victory, 111-107 on Sunday night.

LAKE FOREST, Ill. -- One quarterback to another, Jay Cutler complimented Carson Wentz on Friday for having the wherewithal to start Week 1 as a rookie.Like Wentz, Cutler is a former first-round pick, going No. 11 overall to the Denver Broncos in 2006.Unlike Wentz, however, Cutler had the good fortune of watching from the sidelines until the final five games that year.I mean I had the luxury of being able to sit and watch Jake Plummer, Cutler said. I was on a really veteran team and I was able to sit for most of the season and kind of learn and kind of figure it out and then got thrown in there later on. To play right off the bat coming in, these guys that get drafted -- theyre probably a little bit better prepared than we were 10, 12 years ago. They see more looks. The whole predraft process is so involved now, but you still have to go out there and strap it up and play and its not easy.Former Broncos coach Mike Shanahan exercised some patience with Cutler, but expectations were still high. Denver drafted Cutler to be their quarterback of the future, and the same line of thinking applies to Wentz, who went second overall to Philadelphia out of North Dakota State, where he led the Bison to back-to-back NCAA Division I FCS national championships.From that perspective, Cutler knows exactly what Wentz will encounter on a daily basis.Its difficult, Cutler said. I think hes in a good sppot.dddddddddddd I think [Eagles coach] Doug [Pederson] understands that position really well and you cant lean on that guy that much early on. It has to be a team sport. You have to put him in position to be successful and you have to hope that your offense is going to grow together for two or three years, because changing coaches, changing offensive coordinators is hard on a young quarterback.Wentz looked sharp in the Eagles season opener against the Browns, completing 22 of 37 pass attempts for 278 yards and two touchdowns. But one game does not make a season.The Eagles (1-0) face a stiffer challenge against the Bears (0-1) at Soldier Field on Monday Night Football.And as Cutler can also attest, there are several variables a quarterback must adjust to when making the leap from college to the NFL.I think everyone talks about the speed, Cutler said. Playing [at Vanderbilt] in the SEC, I think that prepared me a little bit better for the speed of the game. Because the guys on your side in college are faster as well. I think its just the intensity of the game plan, how much is involved there, the checks, the defense, the way its disguised. You factor in those two things, and the intensity of whats involved offensively, and youve got a lot on your plate. ' ' '
