Quarterback Matthew Stafford suffered a “minor” lateral ankle sprain in the Rams’ win over the New Orleans Saints, but the injury is not expected to affect his preparation for Sunday’s game against the Buffalo Bills, coach Sean McVay said Monday.

“As far as training goes, his weekly rhythm won’t change,” McVay said during a video conference, adding that Stafford ran Monday as part of the team’s day-after-lifting program. “It’s gotten a little mixed up. He’s tough. He’s coming through and should be good to go.”

Stafford was injured in the second quarter of Sunday’s 21-14 win at New Orleans when he was knocked down on an incomplete pass. Stafford limped immediately after the play, but stayed in the game and threw for two touchdowns in the second half.

“I have to be faster,” he joked afterwards, “and get away from these guys.”

Receiver Demarcus Robinson, who caught a touchdown pass, suffered a sprained hand, but with a protective pad, he should be ready to play against the Bills, McVay said.

Also on Monday, the Rams attempted to bolster their secondary by claiming cornerback Emmanuel Forbes Jr. off waivers from the Washington Commanders.

Forbes, 23, was the 16th player selected in the 2023 draft out of Mississippi State. As a rookie under former coach Ron Rivera, Forbes started six games and intercepted one pass.

This season, under new coach Dan Quinn, Forbes played in six games and intercepted one pass.

The Rams were familiar with Forbes from pre-draft evaluations and NFL game records, McVay said. Forbes, 6 feet, 180 pounds, showed versatility, competitiveness and ball skills, McVay said.

To make room for Forbes, the Rams waived cornerback Charles Woods. Forbes is now part of a cornerback group that includes Darious Williams, Cobie Durant, Ahkello Witherspoon and Josh Wallace.
