I think, in the best interest of all parties involved (Stafford, Rams, Lions) he should rest up and heal everything and be ready for 2023 Training Camp.
My guess is McVay knows he is going to retire at the end of this year anyway. He couldn’t give two shits about Matt’s health. He’s too worried about saving his legacy before he goes into the booth. The genius of using everyone else’s superstars to win a Superbowl has worn off.
In addition, the Lions have only seen Goff and Iggy from that trade on the field. Until we know what we have in Williams and the next Rams pick we can’t even begin to evaluate whether we took the better offer.
But is he really in the protocol? McVay is a snake.
I mean, why not just put him in the protocol? Why do you have to wait until Monday or Tuesday if you are unsure? Is it going to be any more certain then?
I second, third and fourth that.
We all have to wonder out loud though: If there was this much attention on brain injuries while Matthew was playing for the Lions, would he have missed ALOT more games? What would his career look like? I certainly remember him shaking the cobwebs out more than once. Which is a justified no-no these days.
