QB Matthew Stafford (back) will work out on Saturday, Sean McVay said. The workout will be similar to what he did on Aug. 9.

“Hopefully [his back] responds a little bit better,” McVay said.

Barshop followed up this tweet with;

Sean McVay on Matthew Stafford's back injury: "We're trying to get our hands around this as well, so I don't really have much more information other than think we're trying some different things that are hopefully going to be in alignment with getting him back out on the field."

These aren't glowing reviews regarding his availability for Week 1, but it'd be all speculation to guess when he gets on the field at this point. Keep Stafford low in the QB2 pecking order until we get some better news.

Matthew Stafford is not out with the other quarterbacks to start practice.

It was reported Monday that Stafford wasn't ready to practice after the team said he threw around 60 passes over the weekend and would be set to go on Monday for team drills. There haven't been any other details about Stafford's situation, which gets a bit more stressful for fantasy owners each day that passes. The Rams said they will be flexible with Stafford going forward, so there is still hope he's just giving himself some extra team.

McVay said at a press conference that Matthew Stafford will work out on Saturday ahead of the Rams’ preseason game against the Cowboys. If all goes well in that session, Stafford will be in line to practice with the team on Monday.

Even if Stafford is truly 100% by Week 1, he can still be ignored in typical redraft leagues with the possibility open to streaming him later in the season. The team does have a perfectly capable backup in Garoppolo, so we could see him snag a start or two before Stafford's shoulder is all the way back to normal.

Sources: Rams QB Matthew Stafford is dealing with an aggravated disc and has received an epidural to help him deal with it.

Los Angeles has called him week-to-week, being cautious, but with plans for him to be ready for Week 1.

As a result, Schefter said Rams plan to limit Stafford’s practice time during the first five days of training camp. It may be something to watch, but Stafford is 37 after all, so it's likely just easing him back into things. Stafford ranks just 23rd on our QB list, but should make for a solid QB2 or a backup in one-QB leagues given the weapons around him.

The Rams have agreed to terms with QB Jimmy Garoppolo on a one-year deal.

Following a year with the Raiders, Garoppolo is set to join Matthew Stafford and Sean McVay in L.A.

This may have been the best place Jimmy G could have landed. It still doesn't mean he'll be taking any snaps following his two-game suspension but he would be an interesting streaming option if anything happens to Stafford.

The Raiders will release WR Hunter Renfrow when the new league year begins later today, as he was to count $13.7M against the cap. Renfrow, along with QB Jimmy Garoppolo, will both be free agents.

Renfrow's role in the post-Carr Raiders has taken a huge drop, falling to only 37 targets in 2023. Regardless of where he lands, a return to a 100+ target option is unlikely.

Another major move in Las Vegas: The Raiders are expected to start rookie QB Aidan O'Connell this week and going forward, with Jimmy Garoppolo going to the bench. The promising O’Connell now gets his shot.

Things are getting spicy in Vegas. O'Connell should be able to move the ball down the field better than Garoppolo was able to on Monday Night Football, and will hopefully bring Jakobi Meyers and Davante Adams back into fantasy relevance.

Raiders head coach Josh McDaniels said Saturday that quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo is “good to go” for Monday night against the Lions. Brian Hoyer got the start last week against the Bears as Garoppolo missed with a back injury. It went about as well as you’d expect. The Raiders have their guy back but he’ll face an angry Lions team that got completely tamed by the Ravens last week. Jimmy G just cracks our top 25 this week.

Jimmy Garoppolo will be back at practice on Thursday for the Raiders. Barring any setbacks looks like he's on-line to play against the Lions on Monday.

If you buy into the squeaky wheel narrative, this is incredible news for Davante Adams. Jimmy G himself isn't on typical 1QB radars this week though.
