Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay alerted the media to an issue regarding the elbow of quarterback Matthew Stafford last week.
Since then, it’s been nonstop questions about that elbow for both McVay and the former Georgia Bulldog Stafford.
Stafford battled with an elbow injury last season and received an injection in it this offseason. He did not throw during the Rams‘ spring workouts and he recently got a day off from throwing.
McVay told reporters on Thursday that it was because the quarterback was experiencing some pain in his arm. He added that Stafford’s injury is “a little bit abnormal for a quarterback.”
Fans and media went wild, but Stafford has had enough of the questions.
“You guys want to talk to me about something other than my right arm?” Stafford said after taking seven straight questions about his elbow to start Saturday’s press conference.
The reigning Super Bowl champ Stafford, who is on a workload management to ensure his health for Week 1, looked perfectly fine on Saturday, though.
McVay was thrilled with what he saw.
“He threw it all over the yard today, looked really good, felt good,” McVay said of Stafford’s performance on Saturday.
“I do know this: The way that he looked today, I don’t think you would know that anything was going on and he felt good. So, I know that I’m going to sleep better tonight.”
Stafford was asked if his arm gets sore after throwing or if it’s just sore all the time. His answer was not terribly specific.
“General soreness. I don’t know. It doesn’t matter,” Stafford said.
If there’s one thing we’ve learned about Stafford over the years it’s that he’s one of the toughest quarterbacks the league has ever seen.
Don’t believe me? Remember this play from his rookie season?
