ALLEN PARK, MI (AP) --
      ALLEN PARK, Mich. (AP) - Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew
Stafford took another step toward being able to play.
      Stafford participated without limitations in the parts of
practice the media was allowed to watch for the second straight day
on Tuesday.
      He has missed two games with an injured right knee. Detroit had
a bye Sunday, giving the No. 1 pick in the NFL draft another week
to recover.
      Receiver Calvin Johnson's right knee prevented him from
practicing with his teammates in the open portion of the workout.
Johnson has missed one game with the injury.
      The Lions (1-5) host the St. Louis Rams (0-7) Sunday.
