Matthew Stafford is healthy, but Rams CB Ahkello Witherspoon is out for season after playoff injury
January 12, 2026
Quarterback Matthew Stafford is expected to play for the Los Angeles Rams this weekend after tests revealed only a sprain of the index finger on his throwing hand. Stafford injured his finger in the first half of the Rams’ 34-31 victory over the Panthers last Saturday when he banged his hand into the arm of a Carolina defender on a follow-through. The MVP candidate was able to play through the injury, and coach Sean McVay says Stafford will be “good to go” when Los Angeles faces Chicago in the divisional round on Sunday.
