Matthew Stafford didn't practice Wednesday because of his injured thumb but the Rams, who signed quarterback Dresser Winn, don't rule him out for Sunday.
Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford, who is nursing a right thumb sprain, will not practice Wednesday, but coach Sean McVay would not rule him out for Sunday’s game against the Green Bay Packers. “You give him up until right before the game,” McVay said before practice. Brett Rypien will start if Stafford is unable to play. The Rams signed quarterback Dresser Winn to the practice squad Wednesday. Winn was with the Rams through offseason workouts and training camp.
If Rypien starts against the Packers, how will that affect McVay’s play calling? “You know that Matthew is a unique player that can do so many special things — it’s why he’s got the resumé throughout the course of his career, it’s why he is who is,” McVay said. “And so, to say that you can operate exactly the same way, I think that would be a little silly, but we do have confidence in Brett to be able to operate our offense.
