ALLEN PARK, Mich. (AP) -Matthew Stafford says he didn't practice Wednesday and hasn't been cleared to run because the Detroit Lions want to reduce swelling in his right knee. Stafford says, ``I don't know, we'll see,'' when asked if he will play Sunday against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Detroit coach Jim Schwartz told reporters the injury report would be out at 4 o'clock when asked for an update on Stafford after he was held out of practice for the second straight day. Stafford had his right knee twisted on a sack in Sunday's loss at Chicago. The No. 1 pick in the NFL draft says it was ``scary,'' when he was injured, adding tests showed no structural damage and surgery wasn't necessary. Daunte Culpepper would start in Stafford's place if he can't play.Copyright © 2005 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.
