ALLEN PARK — Lions coach Jim Caldwell said it would take a miracle for Nick Fairley to be able to play on Sunday at Dallas. 

“It’d be a miracle, I can’t rule it out but it’d be a miracle,’’ Caldwell said on Monday.

The coach stopped short of ruling the defensive tackle out for the rest of the playoffs, saying it’s a “possibility.”

Also, said he was uncertain about status of right guard Larry Warford who was unable to finish Sunday’s game with a knee injury. 

“Not certain, not ruled out at this stage. Not certain yet we’ll have to see,’’ Caldwell said.

The Lions, who lost 30-20 to the Packers on Sunday, play the Cowboys in a wild-card game at 4:40 p.m. on Sunday in Dallas.
