With the Los Angeles Rams officially announcing that quarterback Matthew Stafford has a sprained UCL in the thumb of his throwing hand, they included a day-to-day from injury designation. While Stafford could be ready for next Sunday’s game with the Green Bay Packers, his absence, even from practice, shines a light on the lack of depth L.A. has at QB.
Backup Brett Rypien, in his fourth NFL season, will take over the first team snaps in Stafford’s absence and he’s as far as the Rams depth goes. Rookie Stetson Bennett is on the Non-Football Injury List and not expected to be back this season, leaving the Rams perilously thin in signal callers.
