The Rams are evaluating a range of potential scenarios with QB Matthew Stafford and his thumb injury, per source, and he’ll have further testing plus assessment on how he’s gripping the ball through the week.

Rodrigue said the team is pretty much looking at everything, including possible colder conditions in Green Bay in Week 9 - as far as gripping the ball goes. The Rams also have a bye in Week 10. Rodrigue added the team is considering the short term, but the Rams are also not ruling out injured reserve at this point, as they are still gathering information that helps discern a larger timeline for Stafford. Rypien came on in relief of Stafford in Week 8 and could be the assumed starter if Stafford has to miss Week 9. The team drafted Bennett this past spring.
