With Stafford still dealing with a sprained UCL in his right thumb, his status could come down to pregame warmups Sunday at Lambeau Field
Rams quarterbacks Matthew Stafford, left, and Brett Rypien are pictured before a game against the Seattle Seahawks on Sept. 10, 2023, in Seattle. THOUSAND OAKS — For a third consecutive day, Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford did not participate in practice Friday as he continues to deal with a sprained UCL in his right thumb. The Rams will list him as questionable for Sunday’s game versus the Green Bay Packers, with a decision on his status potentially coming down to pregame warmups.
But that would require Stafford to show the coaching and medical staffs that he is able to handle the football and throw somewhere approximating his usual ability. Stafford won’t be the only game-time decision Sunday. Right tackle Rob Havenstein also did not practice this week due to a calf injury, and will be listed as questionable with a game-time decision determining his fate against the Packers.
“He’s done well,” McVay said. “Joe is an incredibly valuable piece to us. And his ability to start at multiple spots, both guards, both tackles, and really play good, quality football. I think for him it’s the comfortability. … You do basically truly have a starter whether he’s playing guard or tackle.”Jones has been dealing with the injury for three weeks now, with it limiting him or holding him out of practice. But he had been able to play through it to this point.
