Matthew Stafford has come out of the Lions' preseason contest against the Raiders after banging his non-throwing hand on a defender's helmet. Stafford's left hand is wrapped and he is on the Detroit bench.
Stafford has a pretty heavy wrap around his left hand. He's laughing and talking to Linehan on sideline, though. At least it's the left.
