ALLEN PARK -- Matthew Stafford visited Dr. James Andrews, the orthopedic specialist in Birmingham, Ala., on Monday and is on his way back to Detroit.

That’s all we know at this point.

However, the media will be given an update on his status on Monday night sometime after 8 p.m. So stay tuned to Lions Lowdown and TheOaklandPress.com web site. Will flash first news on Twitter @PaulaPasche.

Stafford injured his right/throwing shoulder late in the Nov. 7 game against the Jets.

Expect to hear whether surgery will or won’t be performed, if he will or won’t be placed on injured reserve or maybe that he’s close to returning.

Stay tuned.
