Lions’ Driskel (hamstring) questionable to face Bears


Detroit Lions quarterback Jeff Driskel was listed as questionable for Thursday’s game against the visiting Chicago Bears.

Driskel, who is nursing a hamstring injury, was a limited participant in Wednesday’s practice.

The 26-year-old has thrown for 685 yards with four touchdowns and four interceptions in three games this season. He has rushed for 151 yards and a touchdown for the Lions (3-7-1).

With Matthew Stafford (hip, back) ruled out for a fourth consecutive contest, undrafted rookie quarterback David Blough would be in line to get the start should Driskel be unable to suit up against the Bears (5-6).

Blough, a 24-year-old product of Purdue, has yet to throw an NFL pass.

Detroit ruled out cornerback Jamal Agnew (ankle), wide receiver Marvin Hall (foot) and cornerback Rashaan Melvin (ribs) while placing the questionable tag on defensive end Trey Flowers (concussion), defensive end Da’Shawn Hand (ankle), defensive tackle Damon Harrison (knee), tight end T.J. Hockenson (shoulder) and safety Tracy Walker (knee).

The Bears ruled out tight ends Ben Braunecker (concussion) and Adam Shaheen (foot), wide receiver Taylor Gabriel (concussion), offensive lineman Bobby Massie (ankle), defensive back Sherrick McManis (groin) and linebacker Danny Trevathan (elbow).
