Matthew Stafford Dealing With ‘Bad Tendinitis’ in Elbow per Report

Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford has been dealing with “bad tendonitis” in his right elbow that kept him from throwing on Wednesday, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport. Stafford has had this issue for a while, as he didn’t throw in spring practices either.

“It is a tendon issue in his throwing elbow,” Rapoport said, via NFL.com. “[He] had a little of a procedure—not a surgery, but a procedure—more of a PRP-type deal in the offseason to try to manage it. Did not get to a place where he really needs it to be. I think long-term, everyone in L.A. thinks this is going to be fine.”

Despite Stafford’s limited reps so far, head coach Sean McVay said he isn’t concerned long term about the injury.
