Sean McVay: Matthew Stafford suffered sprained finger, but will be "good to go" vs. Bears
Our Summary
Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford sustained a minor finger injury during the team's 34-31 win over the Carolina Panthers but is expected to play in Sunday’s divisional-round game against the Bears. Head coach Sean McVay confirmed that Stafford has a sprain on his right index finger but emphasized that he will be ready for the upcoming matchup. Stafford, a top contender for the MVP award, recorded 304 passing yards with three touchdowns and one interception in the victory.
Additionally, cornerback Ahkello Witherspoon will be placed on injured reserve after re-injuring his scapula, an injury that previously sidelined him this season. Right guard Kevin Dotson is anticipated to return for Sunday's game, potentially strengthening the team’s offensive line. Tight end Terance Ferguson and cornerback Josh Wallace may also be available for the divisional round. The Rams' first injury report of the week is scheduled for release on Wednesday.
