Rams lessen QB Matthew Stafford's (elbow) workload Monday

Pro Football Talk

Aug 02, 2022 · 8:52 AM EDT

One of the most overlooked questions as the 2022 season approaches is whether and to what extent the elbow of Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford will remain properly functional.

“We’d lessened Matthew’s workload today,” coach Sean McVay told reporters on Monday. “Really when we look at it, we’ve got five weeks until September 8. He’s still feeling a little bit of pain, he could push through it. You guys have been out here, he’s been throwing and competing in team settings. We felt like the smart thing was let’s really just take it a week at a time."

Fantasy Impact:

Stafford didn’t throw at all in the offseason due to inflammation in the elbow, the story said. The story added eventually, he needed an injection and it’s been something to watch throughout the early days of camp. As of Saturday, Stafford said it’s all “coming along,” according to the story. On Monday, the Rams acknowledged that Stafford is still feeling some discomfort — and that the team cut back this throwing during Monday’s practice because of it.

Questions about Rams QB Matthew Stafford's health

Pro Football Talk

Among the various current mysteries surrounding the Greatest Show-offs on Turf is whether quarterback Matthew Stafford is or isn’t currently injured.

According to the injury report, he isn’t. According to ESPN, he is. According to Stafford, he’s “feeling fine” but neither he nor anyone else is currently 100 percent.

Fantasy Impact:

HC Sean McVay was asked about it and his quote in the story does make it seem like Stafford is dealing with some kind of injury or injuries. But as the story also added, it’s one of the stranger realities of the new NFL, which hasn’t simply cozied up to gambling but has jumped into bed with it. Inside information exists, and the league does a poor job of compelling teams to disclose the inside information regarding a player’s health — even though that inside information has a direct impact on wagering.

Rams QB Matthew Stafford dealing with 'mild' ankle sprain

Orange County Register

Nov 08, 2021 · 9:09 PM EST

Matthew Stafford couldn’t get out of the way of the Tennessee Titans on Sunday, but he might have dodged a bullet.

That is, if the injury to the quarterback’s left ankle is no more serious than the Rams are reporting, and doesn’t keep him out of practice or next Monday night’s road game against the San Francisco 49ers.

Rams coach Sean McVay said Monday the injury is “a mild kind of ankle sprain.”

“He was sore today, but I expect him to kind of take it a day at a time, but I think he’ll be good to go (in Santa Clara),” McVay said.

Fantasy Impact:

He was injured in the fourth quarter, when he rolled the ankle as he tried to avoid outside linebacker Bud Dupree after throwing an incomplete pass on fourth-and-1. He grabbed the ankle and was slow getting up, but he had it wrapped on the sideline, didn’t miss a play and completed eight of 12 passes on the drive to Sony Michel’s 3-yard consolation touchdown catch. Stafford said after the game, “It’ll be all right," the story all said. Stafford playing on Monday night could be an issue depending on how the ankle responds this week in practice. It's worth keeping an eye on.

Rams QB Matthew Stafford (thumb) back at practice

Matthew Stafford is running the first team offense in the first padded team period today, so another great sign for that thumb.

Fantasy Impact:

Great news. The Rams got a scare yesterday when Stafford hit his throwing thumb against a helmet. The indication was Stafford would be OK, but no one would have been surprised if he sat out a day and played it safe. That isn't the case and he's back at it today.
