Matthew Stafford's X-Rays Come Back Negative

Sunday, January 11, 9:39 AM

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford (finger) underwent additional testing after Saturday's Wild Card win over the Carolina Panthers, but his X-rays came back negative, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL.com. Additionally, medical personnel confirmed that Stafford did not suffer a dislocated finger. Stafford played through the injury and finished the game with 304 passing yards, three touchdowns, and one interception. Given that Stafford essentially had his finger bent further than normal and didn't suffer any fracture or dislocation, he should be good to play next weekend against the Chicago Bears or the Seattle Seahawks. Even if he's limited in practice this week, bettors and DFS players shouldn't worry about his availability or effectiveness for the playofs.
