THOUSAND OAKS — Brett Rypien knows there’s a good chance he starts at quarterback for the Rams this week. But there’s also a chance he won’t know for certain that he’s the man until 90 minutes before kickoff.
That’s when the Rams (3-5) will have to decide upon their active and inactive players for Sunday’s game against the Green Bay Packers (2-5), and whether Matthew Stafford will be in a jersey and a helmet or a heavy jacket and beanie with a sprained UCL in his right thumb.
But for Rypien, it makes no difference.
