ALLEN PARK -- For the second day Lions quarterback Drew Stanton took snaps with the starters at practice.

It appears he will be the starter on Sunday against the Chicago Bears, but coach Jim Schwartz has not made an official announcement.

Shaun Hill, who has the index finger of his right/throwing hand wrapped, was on the field today (Wednesday), but did not participate at all. Unsubstantiated reports are that his finger is broken and he’s done for the season. Hill also did not practice on Tuesday.

Matthew Stafford (shoulder) was not seen during the media portion of practice, but he could have been in the training room.

Defensive end Kyle Vanden Bosch did not practice for the second straight day.

Running back Jahvid Best, who missed Tuesday’s practice, was back in action today.

Kicker Jason Hanson (knee) was on the field, but was seen kicking a football.
