Matthew Stafford suffered a sprained UCL in his right thumb during Week 8, which caused him to miss Week 9. However, he had ample time to rest as the team had a bye week during Week 10. Stafford has now been cleared to play against the Seahawks at home in Week 11.

In Week 1, Stafford had an impressive game against the Seahawks, throwing for 334 yards and completing 24 out of 38 passes, but he failed to score any touchdowns. The return of Cooper Kupp from injury and the addition of Puka Nacua to the team’s underrated offense further strengthens Stafford’s position as a QB2 with QB1 potential for this week’s game.
