Matthew Staffordās undisclosed elbow injury has been a major concern for the Los Angeles Rams throughout the offseason. Fortunately, the Super Bowl-winning QB will be ready for Week 1.
However, recent reports state that heās still week-to-week with his injury treatment, so thereās still chance he misses a game, especially considering the fact he needs to get some rest to go back to full strength.
Moreover, it seems like Stafford feels way below 100% right now. He didnāt want to get into details or make a big fuzz out of it, but he didnāt sound like a guy whoās back to full strength just yet.
NFL Rumors: Matthew Stafford Still Struggling With Elbow Injury
āI feel good. Iām ready to go. No limitations,ā Stafford told the media before stopping short. ā[I] still think thereās. . . . I donāt know. I feel great. Iām ready to go play, can always be better. [I] can I always try to feel like Iām 21 again, Iāll keep trying, but no I feel really good. [I] feel like I can make every throw. I donāt know what else you need to hear from me.ā
Sean McVay Says Heās In Great Shape
HC Sean McVay pretty much dismissed all rumors about Staffordās injury. He claimed that heās in great shape and ready to do, especially because of his competitive spirit and determination to be out there:
āI tell you what, heās throwing the ball excellent,ā McVay said. āHe feels good. Everything that Iām seeing is reflective of everything heās saying to me and so I feel really good about that. You canāt look back on the past. It is something that will be very similar to last year so itās not really anything thatās different. You got a great competitor that you want to be smart about managing guysā bodies and for a quarterback, their arm is always something that you want to be smart about. Thatāll be the same as what we did last year with him.ā
No one will be 100% healthy throughout a football season, thatās just obvious. But maybe, the Rams would be better off by taking things slowly with their franchise QB rather than rushing him back to the field.
