Matthew Stafford has a sprained ligament in his right thumb, possibly sidelining the Rams' starting quarterback for Los Angeles' visit to Green Bay on Sunday.
Although coach Sean McVay didn't rule out his Super Bowl-winning quarterback Monday, he said the Rams are looking for another quarterback to pair with backup Brett Rypien in practice this week in case Stafford's sprained UCL prevents him from playing against the Packers.'We definitely have to get some contingency plans in order,' McVay said.
There's a lot of things to it, but it's really about what happens in the next 24 to 48 hours.'Stafford had surgery on this thumb in the spring of 2021, shortly after the Rams acquired him in a trade with Detroit. He promptly led the Rams to a championship in the 2021-22 season.'We were encouraged that it was a sprain,' McVay said. 'I think there was some potential concerns that it could be worse.
