Matthew Stafford suffered a sprain on his throwing hand thumb and will be monitored 'day to day' about facing Green Bay, Rams coach Sean McVay said.
Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford suffered a sprained ulnar collateral ligament in his right thumb during a loss to the Dallas Cowboys and he will be evaluated “day to day” as the Rams prepare for Sunday’s game against the Green Bay Packers, coach Sean McVay said Monday. “We were encouraged that it was a sprain,” McVay said during a video conference with reporters. “I think there was some potential concerns that it could be worse. ... Hopefully, it was just a good scare.
McVay said Stafford has scar tissue, so the Rams will monitor swelling and bruising and how it affects Stafford’s ability to grip and throw the ball, McVay said. “It’s really about let’s see what happens over the next 24 to 48 hours,” McVay said, adding, “I think we’d be silly to not try to get our ducks in row if he’s not able to go.” McVay, however, said the Rams would not push Stafford.
