Matthew cracked four ribs in Week 15 against the San Francisco 49ers but decided to play through the injury. In the latest episode of her Timeout podcast, Kelly shared how not telling the team of his situation affected the quarterback.
'He cracked four ribs,' Kelly revealed. 'But just didn't really let anyone in to know really much about it. [He] continued his everyday process like nothing was wrong, would come home and be miserable.'. Matthew aggravated the injury in the Rams' divisional playoff defeat the the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday and acknowledged it after the game.
The quarterback admitted he had been dealing with the pain 'to a varying degree for some time.' Matthew also added he 'was able to kind of calm it down' and 'didn't feel like it was much of a factor' against Philadelphia.
