Matthew Stafford to play with protective glove on right hand

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. – Matthew Stafford is wearing a protective glove on his right hand after injuring his middle finger last week against Chicago.

Stafford had gone back-and-forth throughout the week whether or not he would wear the glove, but ended up sticking with wearing it in potentially rainy, windy conditions at MetLife Stadium against the New York Giants.

“It’s not really for my state of mind,” Stafford said. “It’s for what’s going to be most functional. So whatever is most functional, I can perform the best with, that’s what I’ll go with.
