Head coach Sean McVay confirms to reporters that quarterback Matthew Stafford of the Los Angeles Rams will not be able to participate in team training for the time being. The head coach’s words do not sound very reassuring.

Munich – Not very reassuring news from the Los Angeles Rams: Head coach Sean McVay has announced that Matthew Stafford will not participate in team training for the time being due to injury.

According to NFL Media, the quarterback is suffering from a “serious tendonitis” in his elbow. The head coach did not want to confirm the diagnosis, but his statements should not necessarily reassure the fans.

“His injury is rather abnormal for a quarterback. That’s the kind of thing mostly pitchers in MLB have to deal with. So it’s something we’re learning about as we have to deal with it and based on his feedback.”

He continued, “We’re trying to figure out how to put the best plan in place to ease the pain that he’s had to fight through. And at the same time give him the confidence that he can just let go, not worry and do the best he can. “

McVay confirms injury to Stafford

Accordingly, the Rams’ goal is “for him to feel as good as he can, especially when it comes to his throwing arm. That would be best for us, but I’ve never experienced that as a coach with a quarterback. There have been little elbow issues here and there, but that’s something we want to address as smartly as we can. “

In the offseason, Stafford had undergone a procedure and had plasma injected, according to “NFL Media.” The playmaker also wore a splint briefly.

Now, he said, it’s a matter of taking his time with the rehab program and improving the way the signal caller feels.

“I think when you’ve played as long as he has and you’re as tough as he is, I don’t know if you’re ever really pain-free,” McVay said. “But the goal would be September 8 and then the upcoming 17 games and hopefully a couple after that if we earn that opportunity. “
