Matthew Stafford’s injured thumb could be a major blow to Rams’ faint hopes of contending this year

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:45:53 GMT

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Matthew Stafford has an injured thumb, and another season appears to be slipping through the Los Angeles Rams’ fingers.Stafford hurt himself while fighting for extra points on two plays in the Rams’ 40-23 loss at Dallas on Sunday. The Rams didn’t give an official update on his condition early Monday, but a significant absence for their franchise quarterback would seriously imperil any hope of avoiding their second straight losing season under Sean McVay.That’s because the Rams (3-5) have lost two straight measuring-stick games to the Steelers and the Cowboys, two opponents that appear to belong in the playoff race. That’s where the Rams thought they could be last month before they were brought back to reality by the consequences of their offseason roster gutting.Instead, the Rams have lost five of their last seven games, beating only the Colts and Cardinals. They were blown out by the Cowboys, falling behind 26-3 before they had even ...
