After spending much of practice through the last eight weeks with the scout team, Rams backup quarterback Brett Rypien is taking on first-team reps this week as injured starting QB Matthew Stafford serves as an extension of the coaching staff. Stafford has not been ruled out for Sunday’s game in Green Bay. THOUSAND OAKS — Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford was not a participant in Wednesday’s practice after suffering a UCL strain in his right thumb.
The matter at hand for Stafford is the swelling in the thumb on his throwing hand. On Monday, McVay said the injury impacted his ability to hold a football. The cold weather expected in Green Bay only compounds the issue. Stafford is seventh in the NFL with 2,070 yards passing this season. His 59.7% completion rate is the lowest among the league’s top 22 quarterbacks in yards, and he has thrown eight touchdown passes with seven interceptions.
Winn would serve as the backup to Brett Rypien if Stafford is unable to play on Sunday. After spending much of practice through the last eight weeks with the scout team, Rypien is taking on first-team reps this week as Stafford serves as an extension of the coaching staff.
