Allen Park - Coach Jim Schwartz announced Wednesday that Shaun Hill would start at quarterback on Sunday against the Buffalo Bills.
"Shaun has been cleared, there should be no limitations," Schwartz said.

Hill, who is three weeks removed from surgery on his left forearm, seconded that, saying he could do everything, from handing off with the left hand, to taking snaps from under center and being able to fall on the left arm.
"Absolutely ready to go," Hill said.
Schwartz also reiterated what he said on Monday, that surgery was not an option for Matthew Stafford, who suffered a second injury to his right shoulder on Sunday. Essentially, Schwartz said they were going week to week with him.
He also made a point of saying there was a reason that neither Stafford nor kicker Jason Hanson (knee) were placed on the injured list - the Lions are hopeful both can return this season. Though, it is clearly more likely that Hanson will be back than Stafford.
Besides Stafford and Hanson, missing practice Wednesday were starters offensive guard Stephen Peterman (foot), defensive end Cliff Avril (hip), defensive tackle Corey Williams (rest), as well as back-up tailback Kevin Smith (knee) and special teams captain Isaiah Ekejiuba (knee) did not practice.
Starting cornerback Chris Houston (shoulder) did practice. Safety C.C. Brown, who missed last week with a knee injury, took part in individual drills but was limited.
Newly-signed quarterback Zac Robinson also practiced.
