Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford said that he had been playing through a rib injury “for some time” after losing to the Eagles in the divisional round, per ESPN’s Sarah Barshop.
Stafford’s wife, Kelly, revealed on her podcast that he cracked four ribs in Week 15 in a 12-6 win over the 49ers, though the 16-year veteran didn’t leave the game. He played every offensive snap in the Rams’ next two games before sitting out in Week 18 with the team’s playoff seeding already locked in. Stafford returned to the field in the playoffs and completed both games despite aggravating his rib injury in Philadelphia.
