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.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp arrived in Minnesota on Monday to consult with a specialist in an effort to remedy his hamstring injury, coach Sean McVay confirmed. First injured during a training camp practice on August 1, Kupp experienced a setback with his rehabilitation last week.

Missing all three of the Rams’ preseason games, Kupp is regarded as a day-to-day on the Rams’ injured list. The team expects to have more clarity on Wednesday on whether the 30-year-old will be able to feature in their Week 1 game against the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday.

“I think you just move forward, and you have to be able to operate with the situation and the guys we do have and if he’s able to go then that’s outstanding for us and, if not, then that’s kind of how we’ve been operating,” McVay explained.

The Los Angeles Rams have appointed Mike LaFleur as their new offensive coordinator, the team revealed on Friday night. This comes after LaFleur left his previous position as offensive coordinator of the New York Jets while Liam Coen vacated the same position on the Rams’ team in search of a job at the Kentucky Wildcats.

Los Angeles will be hoping that LaFleur can help to improve their ability to move the ball down the field. In 2022, the team made 280.5 yards per game, the lowest in the league. They also came 27th in the NFL for points per game with 18.1.

Having won Super Bowl LVI last February, the Rams were unable to hit their stride over the past season after getting hit hard by an array of injury setbacks. Quarterback Matthew Stafford, along with wide receivers Cooper Kupp and Allen Robinson were all ruled out of action with season-ending injuries.

Prior to joining the Jets, LaFleur was the passing game coordinator for the San Francisco 49ers as well as wide receivers coach from 2017 until 2020.

Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford has been cleared to play in the game against the New Orleans Saints on Sunday after being cleared of concussion protocol. Following his absence during the Rams’ 27-17 loss to the Arizona Cardinals in Week 10, Stafford has been on the mend, becoming a full participant in the teams’ training all week.

Stafford entered concussion protocol on November 8 after the Rams’ Week 9 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccanneers after the team’s medical staff determined that this was the “appropriate” action following an examination of the player. After the game, coach Sean McVay revealed that he did not see any indication during the game that Stafford had been dealing with concussion symptoms.

Although Stafford is listed as being available for Sunday’s game, McVay has confirmed that quarterback Bryce Perkins may back up Stafford against the Saints should the need arise. Fellow quarterback John Wolford, who played in Stafford’s place against the Cardinals last week, has been listed on the team’s injury report after suffering a neck injury.

Prior to entering concussion protocol, Stafford had completed 68.4% of his passes for 1,928 yards this season along with eight touchdowns and eight interceptions.

LA Rams’ brand new SoFi Stadium is set to have an underwhelming welcome for its inaugural NFL season. According to ESPN’s Lindsey Thiry, the stadium would have “limited or no capacity” for the Rams’ home games in 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic.

In case that fans get to attend games, the franchise said that the capacity will be set at 15,000 max compared to 70,000 available seats. Also, fans will be required to wear masks.

Rams also confirmed that season tickets for 2020 will be unavailable in a letter sent to current season-ticket holders. Instead, the previously purchased tickets can be deferred to 2021, or fans can ask for a refund.

Rams are currently set to play their first home game at SoFi Stadium, which reportedly cost $5.5 billion, in Week 1 against Dallas Cowboys on September 13th.

According to reports, a significant number of other NFL teams are leaning towards playing in front of empty stands while the New York Giants and the New York Jets already made this decision. Previously, Philadelphia confirmed that Eagles will have to play with no fans this year due to the city’s decision to limit outdoor gatherings.
