Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford participated fully in practice on November 4, despite dealing with an elbow issue. This follows a lackluster performance in Week 8, where he showed inconsistency compared to his previous MVP season. His recent play raises questions about his reliability, suggesting he might be viewed as a safer option as a backup quarterback rather than a starter. The Rams' upcoming game will hinge on Stafford's ability to maintain his health and performance.
