"Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford practiced with gloves on Wednesday and expects to wear them again the Carolina Panthers on Sunday.

Stafford practiced with gloves prior to playing against Chicago last week because of a fractured finger in his throwing hand. He threw four interceptions in Detroit's 37-13 loss, but blamed his performance on the wind at Solider Field.

However, Stafford said his finger is feeling better when asked after today's practice."
