From the article

From Weeks 5-8, Stafford is 1 of 9 on throws with 20+ air yards. The 11% completion percentage and raw completions are obviously alarming... I wasn't surprised to see Monday's report that his elbow is sore. That's what his throwing motion looks like right now

STACKED’s take

Negative signalInjury

Elbow soreness evident; 11% deep completion rate; motion compromised.

From Weeks 5-8, Stafford is 1 of 9 on throws with 20+ air yards (11% completion percentage). He is QB27 in deep attempts on QB6 total attempts during this four-game span. His average depth of throw is down to 5.4 yards this past month. On tape, Stafford doesn't look fully healthy right now; some of his sideline and downfield attempts lack his usual zip, and his throwing motion is feeling more Philip Rivers-like. Some throws on the move are drifting low and away, and intermediate throws aren't coming with his normal spot-on accuracy. A Monday report indicated his elbow is sore, which matches his throwing motion.
