Los Angeles Rams Head Coach Sean McVay has finally broken his silence regarding Matthew Stafford’s thumb injury, and the news is concerning. After their resounding defeat by the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday, Stafford left the game early due to an injury. McVay has shed some light on the situation, explaining that the injury occurred during a two-point conversion catch, as reported by team writer Stu Jackson. Initially, the severity of Stafford’s injury was unclear, and McVay expressed his reluctance to speculate until more information is available, saying, “Sean McVay said he doesn’t have any more information on Matthew Stafford’s thumb injury. Doesn’t want to speculate until he has more clarity. McVay said the injury occurred on the 2-point conversion catch.”
However, since the initial injury, there have been developments, and McVay’s tone doesn’t inspire confidence, according to J.B. Long at ESPN Los Angeles. McVay remarked, “It doesn’t seem like it’s good, but we’ll wait for full clarification…”
The Rams will keep a close watch on Stafford in the upcoming days. Depending on the severity of the thumb injury, the team may have to do without their starting quarterback for several weeks. Judging by McVay’s response, Los Angeles fans should possibly brace themselves for a challenging situation.
Matthew Stafford had a tough outing against the Cowboys, with only 162 passing yards, one touchdown, and one interception. After falling behind 33-9 at halftime, the Rams struggled to get back into the game.
Next on the schedule for Los Angeles are the Green Bay Packers. Hopefully, Stafford’s thumb injury isn’t too serious, and he can be available for Week 9. If not, the Rams might face some difficulties in their upcoming games.
