The sprained UCL in his right thumb isn’t an injury that Stafford can play with through sheer toughness.
Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford stands on the sideline during the first half of an NFL football game against the Green Bay Packers, Sunday, Nov. 5, 2023, in Green Bay, Wis. GREEN BAY, Wisc. – The Rams wanted to give quarterback Matthew Stafford enough time for the sprained UCL in his right thumb to heal, in hopes he could play Sunday against the Green Bay Packers.
“He’s making good progress, but it wasn’t anywhere to where we thought he’d be able to go for us,” head coach Sean McVay said. “Whenever we get him back, we’ll certainly be excited about that. Hopefully it’s when we come back and play Seattle but I can’t give you any updates as it relates to exactly where he’s at.”
“This guy’s as tough as it gets. He’s gonna play through stuff that not a lot of people will do,” McVay said. “I don’t know enough about where we’re at in regards to recovery, ability to grip the ball. I’m optimistic; I’ll leave that door open.”In the first quarter against the Packers, tight end Tyler Higbee asked to come out of the game after a snap. When he reached the sideline, he bent over, holding his left hand.
