It's been a tough past couple of weeks for Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford. The QB has spent several days last week self isolating in a hotel after he came in close contact with a COVID-19 patient.

Thankfully, Stafford himself did not test positive for the virus, and has since been able to return from quarantine.

According to the 32-year-old, he's just happy to be back out there with his squad:

“Obviously, I was able to come out and practice full today, which was awesome,” Stafford said, via Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press (h/t Josh Alper of NBC Sports). “And obviously, didn’t have a chance to do that last week, so it was great being out here, caught another great day of weather and had a nice practice out there, all that. So getting back to the routine is always a positive for me and really for anybody that does this job.”

Stafford was previously placed by the Lions on their reserve/COVID-19 list, but was activated on Saturday after his test results came back negative. He was able to take the field against the Minnesota Vikings for their Week 9 matchup, but was forced to exit in the fourth period under suspicion of a possible concussion.

Matthew Stafford appears to be fine following Sunday's scare, and as reported above, he's already been able to rejoin his squad for practice. The veteran QB has been through quite a lot of late, and it is clear that some sense of normalcy is a welcome development for him at this point.
