Yahoo Sports NFL on Matthew Stafford

Stafford dealing with arm soreness; Rams reduced his pass attempts to manage workload.

Matthew Stafford is dealing with arm soreness in his throwing arm, though the source notes this may not be new information. Stafford has not missed a snap all year due to injury and shown no signs of discomfort, but he often plays through pain. The source notes that the Rams have lessened the load on Stafford, who averaged over 53 pass attempts per game from Weeks 3 through 5 but has averaged 29.0 attempts per game in the three games since. The Athletic's Nate Atkins wrote that 'They're asking a 38-year-old Stafford to overcome a lack of trust with young options while fearing the next turnover,' and 'The Rams are walking a tightrope over fire right now.'
