The Los Angeles Rams’ future with starting quarterback Matthew Stafford is getting murkier by the minute. While the team continues to express confidence that its current care plan is on track, the aftermath of his first attempt to pass a tolerance stress test went poorly. Head coach Sean McVay insists, “He could start right now if a game were scheduled,” but the reality on the field tells a different story.
Matthew Stafford is not in pads. He’s not on the football field. He’s not progressing. The conflict between what is being said and what is actually unfolding leans toward a less promising outcome.
