ALLEN PARK — Matthew Stafford was named the NFC offensive player of the week today for his five-touchdown performance in Sunday’s 38-37 win over the Cleveland Browns.

“It’s a huge honor, it’s awesome. I didn’t expect that one to happen. I’m just thankful, you have to give a lot of credit to the guys catching the ball and blocking in front of me too. Without those guys it wouldn’t have happened,’’ Stafford said.

The rookie quarterback suffered a separated left shoulder on the second-to-last play of the Sunday’s game. He didn’t practice today. Afterward he said it’s getting better, but if the game was today he probably couldn’t play.

Will he play on Thursday?
“I have no idea,’’ Stafford said.
