Stafford, 37, has not practiced since the Rams opened training camp while receiving treatment from trainers and the team medical staff for what McVay initially described as back soreness. McVay said last Tuesday that Stafford would sit out the first block of practices, but return on Monday when the Rams will be in pads for the first time.

ESPN's Peter Schrager shared his intel on the issue during a recent episode of The Pat McAfee Show. The NFL insider revealed that the Rams aren't worried that Stafford could miss Week 1 and that the team is just being cautious with their veteran starting quarterback.

Stafford has missed 11 games over the last three years. Since the start of the 2022 season, Stafford has dealt with a pedal toe sprain, an elbow infection, an elbow sprain, a spinal cord injury, a hip strain, a thumb sprain, and a lower lumbar sprain, according to Draft Sharks.
