Whether his absence continues into Week 9 remains to be seen.<\/p>\n<p>Stafford suffered a sprained UCL in his right thumb and is considered day to day, Rams coach Sean McVay announced Monday.<\/p>\n<p>Stafford first appeared to sustain a thumb issue when he hit it on a helmet during the game against Dallas, but didn&#8217;t exit until he caught a pass and landed on the affected thumb during a successful two-point try. Backup Brett Rypien\u00a0replaced him for the remainder of the 43-20 loss to the Cowboys.<\/p>\n<h2>          <span>            Related Links          <\/span>        <\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>              2023 NFL season, Week 8: What We Learned from Sunday&#x27;s games            <\/li>\n<li>              NFL stats and records, Week 8: Titans QB Will Levis has historic NFL debut; Dolphins WR Tyreek Hill chasing receiving record            <\/li>\n<li>              The First Read: Five season-altering wins from Week 8; plus, MVP rankings and Week 9&#x27;s must-see game            <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>With a bye week coming in Week 10, it would make sense for the Rams to hold Stafford out of their Week 9 game at Green Bay. At 3-5, though, the Rams don&#8217;t have a ton of time to get back on track before they find themselves in too deep of a hole.<\/p>\n<p>Stafford has enjoyed a resurgent 2023 season, displaying sharp accuracy and a return of his arm strength while helping previously unknown receivers Puka Nacua and Tutu Atwell\u00a0rack up over 1,100 combined receiving yards and five touchdowns. Stafford currently owns a 59.7 completion percentage, 2,070 passing yards and an 8-7 TD-INT ratio.<\/p>\n<p>If the Rams decide to follow a cautious route with Stafford, their fans can prepare for a weekend spent watching Rypien handle the role. We&#8217;ll see how Stafford progresses through the week.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nfl.com\/news\/rams-qb-matthew-stafford-day-to-day-after-suffering-ucl-sprain-in-right-thumb\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Matthew Stafford&#8217;s thumb injury cost him nearly half of the Rams&#8217;\u00a0 Week 8 loss.
