Matthew Stafford Participates in Full Week of Rams Practice, and His Injured Back Feels Much Better

Matthew Stafford completed a full week of practice with no restrictions after recovering from an aggravated back disk that sidelined him for over three weeks, coach Sean McVay said.

  • After returning to practice Monday, Matthew Stafford finished a full week at the Rams training complex in Woodland Hills, feeling optimistic about his injured back after three full practices with no restrictions.
  • After minicamp this summer, the injury began during training after the Rams' minicamp, requiring an epidural that sidelined Matthew Stafford early in camp while he watched from Loyola Marymount.
  • After returning Monday, Matthew Stafford shifted from individual drills to full-team work and live reps, with Sean McVay noting no restrictions and high-level play rebuilding chemistry with Davante Adams.
  • On Saturday, the Rams will be without Matthew Stafford, who will not travel to Cleveland, and will start fourth-stringer Dresser Winn while preserving Stetson Bennett for the regular season.
  • With the regular-season opener approaching, Matthew Stafford's balky back remains one of the Rams' two major injury concerns alongside Alaric Jackson, Rams left tackle's blood clots, and Stafford declined to confirm Week 1 availability, calling his status day-to-day.
