The Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford is unlikely to play against the Green Bay Packers on Sunday as he battles with a right thumb injury. Still, one source claimed that the Rams are willing to wait to see if there is any change to his status before ruling him out completely.
Officially listed as questionable, Stafford was injured during his team’s 43-20 loss to the Dallas Cowboys last week. While one source mentioned earlier in the week that it “would have been unthinkable” for him to play on Sunday due to his ulnar collateral ligament sprain, he may end up being rested given that he will have two weeks to recover before the Rams’ next game due to a bye next week.
Should Stafford be rested, Brett Rypien would be expected to replace him with Dresser Winn as backup. Star rookie wide receiver Puka Nacua, who is also listed as questionable, is expected to play.
