ALLEN PARK — Quarterback Daunte Culpepper (hamstring) practiced  this morning, but Matthew Stafford (knee) did not. Stafford said on Thursday he was not sure when he’d be able to get back to practice. He said he was taking it day to day. He'll receive treatment over the bye weekend. Culpepper did not practice on Thursday, leaving Drew Stanton as the lone healthy quarterback for that practice session.

Linebacker Larry Foote did not practice for the second straight day. He said he injured his wrist in the Pittsburgh game and was taking it easy because it’s the bye week.

Others not practicing included: WR Calvin Johnson (knee), LB DeAndre Levy, DE Turk McBride (knee), DT Sammie Hill (ankle), DE Jason Hunter (ankle) and FB Jerome Felton (shoulder).

Today’s practice was the final one before the bye-week break. The Lions will resume practice on Tuesday when they start preparation to play the winless St. Louis Rams on Nov. 1 at Ford Field.
