Rams Rumors: Matthew Stafford Dealing with Elbow Injury and 'Chronic' Back Issue

Los Angeles Rams star Matthew Stafford is reportedly dealing with a "chronic" back injury along with an elbow issue.

"Stafford's arm has been in a lot of pain, he has elbow pain and his back has a chronic issue that he deals with every single day. His health is certainly an issue," ESPN's Dianna Russini said on Sunday NFL Countdown.

A back injury limited Stafford to eight appearances in 2019, but he didn't miss a single game in 2020. That isn't to say the 33-year-old was fully healthy, as he later revealed the problems he was dealing with while continuing to play.
