Report: Rams' Stafford undergoes minor thumb procedure

New Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford underwent a minor procedure on his right thumb in March, a source told Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic.

The procedure, which stemmed from an injury Stafford suffered in December, was elective and a "simple cleanup," a source told Rodrigue.

Stafford reportedly isn't expected to miss any portion of the Rams' spring workouts scheduled to begin later in April. Teams can begin gathering small groups as of April 19.

The 33-year-old could be seen wearing a small brace around his thumb while on a flight in an Instagram story posted Thursday by his wife, Kelly.

The Detroit Lions traded Stafford to Los Angeles in January in exchange for quarterback Jared Goff and multiple draft picks.

The 2009 first overall pick is the Lions' all-time leader in passing yards (45,109) and touchdown passes (282).
