Culpepper Practices with First Team Squad

Daunte Culpepper practiced with the first team for the Detroit Lions while Matthew Stafford practiced strictly with the 2nd team only.

This could be a sign that Culpepper has the upper hand early on to be the Lions starting quarterback. Then again, tomorrow we could see Stafford practice with the first team while Daunte works with the 2nd team only. We do not yet know how Jim Schwartz will work things. If Daunte Culpepper continues to work with the first team then I would look at it as a sign of the coaches plans.
