"I've seen some teams around the league where they have those shells on the helmets, where you can soften the blow if you come down on top of it. It's one of Chimezie Metu Jersey those things where you hope you don't have to learn the hard way." Stafford's status going forward is currently TBD, but the Rams hope he's back on the field at camp ASAP. |
