Brett Rypien is currently Stafford’s backup.
The Los Angeles Rams got pasted 43-20 by the Dallas Cowboys, and moving forward they may need to turn to other options at quarterback. Matthew Stafford suffered a thumb injury when he hit his hand against the helmet of rookie defensive lineman Mazi Smith in the 2nd quarter. Stafford played only one series in the 3rd quarter before he was replaced by Brett Rypien.
According to Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic, “The Rams have not ruled out placement on injured reserve for the quarterback as they gather information to discern a larger overall timeline.” If Stafford is placed on injured reserve—the Rams have a bye week after this Sunday against the Green Bay Packers, so keep that in mind depending on the severity of his injury—he would miss the Nov. 19 home game against the Seattle Seahawks.
