ALLEN PARK — As expected, quarterback Matthew Stafford (shoulder separation) and wide receiver Calvin Johnson (hand, knee) did not practice today, but were on the sidelines. The pair is unlikely to play in the Thanksgiving game against Green Bay, although coach Jim Schwartz has left the door cracked to the possibility of their participation.

Safety Kalvin Pearson and linebacker Ernie Sims, who both have hamstring injuries, were at practice but did not participate.
