Rams coach Sean McVay gives big Matthew Stafford injury update
No one has ever questioned the toughness of Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford, and if they have, then they’re not a person worth having a conversation with to begin with. Ever since Stafford gutted out a win with a separated shoulder during his rookie year with the Detroit Lions, he’s been something of a made man in that regard, routinely playing through bumps and bruises, regularly brushing off the hardest hits and most painful smashes of his right hand. But after 15 NFL seasons, Stafford has every right to use the preseason to recuperate from any nagging injury.
On Sunday, Rams coach Sean McVay addressed the media and shared that Matthew Stafford’s injury is not one he’s concerned will jeopardize his availability for the beginning of the regular season.
“I’m not concerned based on what I understand the tightness is, and erring on the safe side of caution for this week if that’s what we end up having to do,” Sean McVay said, according to Stu Jackson of therams.com. “He’s going to be ready to be ready to go and to prepare against Detroit. And if we miss a couple days this week, if that’s the approach that we take on the safer side, he’ll still have two and a half weeks of preparation for Detroit.”
Speaking of the “safer side,” it certainly doesn’t help that the Rams offensive line has already been hit with a variety of injuries since training camp began. Left guard Jonah Jackson, left tackle Alaric Jackson, and right tackle Rob Havenstein are all likely done for the rest of the preseason.
