The player, who spoke about the injury for the first time on Thursday, explained that the problem &#8220;arose gradually&#8221;.\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>Backs are sometimes interesting things. It&#8217;s not easy to determine what&#8217;s what and how you&#8217;ll feel, so I really appreciate our team, our head coach, and everyone for taking a daily approach with me, doing everything they can to help me.<\/p><cite>Matthew Stafford<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\nStafford declined to elaborate on the injury or confirm whether he will be ready for the Rams&#8217; season opener against the Houston Texans on September 7, but noted that he is focusing on a &#8220;day-to-day approach&#8221; to manage the injury.\n\nThe quarterback participated in full practices on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday, and led the first-team plays during Wednesday&#8217;s training. McVay commented that, based on what he has observed, &#8220;there are no restrictions and he is playing at a very high level&#8221;.\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>I&#8217;ve seen a guy who has been improving more and more. He looks like the star player we know. I think the first day he was feeling comfortable, just testing the waters a bit. And then, I think in the last few days he has played very fast. He has activated all areas of the field, as I mentioned to you the other day.<\/p><cite>Sean McVay<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\nWhen asked if he still feels back pain, Stafford replied: &#8220;It&#8217;s been 17 years in the NFL. There&#8217;s pain everywhere every time I wake up. But no, it&#8217;s something I&#8217;m going to manage, as I do with a million other things throughout the year.&#8221;\n\nStafford stated that &#8220;he definitely felt much more like himself today&#8221; compared to his first practice on Monday.\n\nStafford will not travel to Cleveland for the Rams&#8217; final preseason game against the Browns.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Matthew Stafford Practices Fully in Training After Injury Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford has been a full participant in practice this week, marking his return from a back injury, according to head coach Sean McVay.
