Matthew Stafford’s wife, Kelly, recently shared that she has been battling a severe case of the flu since the Rams’ season-ending loss against the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday. Kelly revealed she “passed out” due to illness in her suite during the game and said she thinks she and two of her daughters are sick.

With Stafford being inactive, the Rams will turn to Jimmy Garoppolo as their starting quarterback and Stetson Bennett as the backup. This will be Garoppolo’s first opportunity to play since 2023 and his first snaps as a member of the Rams.

The Rams are looking further down the field ahead of their season closer against Seattle and will sit several key players.

Matthew Stafford, Puka Nacua, Cooper Kupp, Kyren Williams and Kevin Dotson are all healthy scratches and will not play against the Seahawks. They’re all inactive, as is Rob Havenstein, who’s dealing with a shoulder injury.

The Rams have clinched the NFC West so Jimmy Garoppolo will start against the Seahawks instead of Matthew Stafford.

Kelly Stafford and her daughters with Matthew Stafford will move out of their home ahead of the NFL Wild Card playoff game if they are sick.

Kelly Stafford, the wife of Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford, will take their children and move out of their home. Ahead of the Los Angeles Rams wild-card game against the Minnesota Vikings, Kelly is doing her best to ensure the team has every chance to win.

Matthew Stafford might not have his wife Kelly and their four daughters by his side as he gets ready to prepare for the Wild Card round of the NFL playoffs. The Los Angeles Rams will host the Minnesota Vikings on Monday night in the opening round of the playoffs.
