Matthew Stafford Shows Progress in His Recovery
Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford, who is dealing with back discomfort, had a strong throwing session this Saturday, according to coach Sean McVay. Stafford, who has been dealing with an aggravated disc in his back, made 68 passes at the Rams’ training facility. Subsequently, he was present on the sidelines during the first preseason game against the Dallas Cowboys.McVay confirmed that Stafford will participate in individual drills on Monday during practice. When asked if Stafford still feels pain or discomfort in his back, McVay replied that he had no knowledge of it. Previously, McVay had emphasized that, although precautions are being taken with Stafford’s back, he would be available to play if it were the regular season. Additionally, McVay announced that the Rams and the Los Angeles Chargers will not hold the joint practice scheduled for Wednesday. McVay explained that the Chargers are dealing with some injuries at this point in training camp. The Rams did not plan for Stafford to participate in said joint practice, due to the “uncontrolled parameters” that facing another team implies, according to McVay.“It was amazing. He looked good. He threw the ball really well. There were no limitations as far as the types of throws: long, intermediate, short. We were moving the launch point and it felt really good. And so we expect to progress with him back to practice on Monday, but it was a good step in the right direction,” McVay stated.
