Sean McVay said QB Matthew Stafford (back) didn’t end up practicing today as expected because he didn’t feel good enough coming into today. Rams opted for cautious approach.

It's a bit more information that begins to leak out as to why Stafford didn't practice today, as was expected. McVay added, “We’re going to be flexible and fluid.” McVay said Stafford wants to be out there more than anybody, according to the post. There was no more detail as to what made Stafford feel the way he did, but more will likely be coming out.

Rams QB Matthew Stafford (back) is in street clothes today.

Stafford was expected to return to practice with the team today. Stafford did make at least 60 passes in a workout on Saturday, according to Pro Football Talk, with HC Sean McVay saying he was able to move around and had no limitations with his types of throws. We'll continue to update this story as we learn more, but as it looks now, it appears on the surface at least, it could be bad news unless we get another explanation.

Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford (back) threw over 60 passes during a workout Saturday and was not limited on the types of throws he was making.

Stafford, who has yet to practice in camp, received an epidural for his back soreness. It seems to be helping as Rams head coach Sean McVay said after Saturday’s preseason win against the Cowboys, “Looking forward to progressing him back into practice on Monday.”

Stetson Bennett was the main quarterback Saturday, as the Rams also didn’t play Jimmy Garoppolo.

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.

Sean McVay said QB Matthew Stafford (back) "feels good" and is "making good progress."

Rams QB Matthew Stafford (back) will not participate in Monday’s joint practice with the Cowboys, according to head coach Sean McVay.

Stafford is considered week-to-week after he was thought to only miss the first few days of camp. The Rams are being cautious with their signal caller with over a month left until their September 7 season opener against the Texans. McVay also would not commit to Stafford taking part in next week’s joint practice with the Chargers. Stafford is currently our No. 23 ranked quarterback.

Rams QB Matthew Stafford (back soreness) will not practice next week.

Stafford was thought to return to practice Monday, but the Rams are now being a bit more cautious with their quarterback. The original word was that Stafford felt "pretty good" and would only miss a small portion of camp. The Rams are now saying he will be a "week at a time", with head coach Sean McVay saying that's "probably what he should have said in the first place." It's still early in camp so the hope is this doesn't linger too much for Stafford, but we've seen him be hampered by camp injuries in the past. The Rams open the preseason August 9 against the Cowboys.

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.

Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford came out of Sunday’s victory over the Saints with an injury.

Coach Sean McVay said, via Jourdan Rodrigue of TheAthletic.com, that Stafford has a lateral ankle sprain, but the injury should not affect Stafford’s practice time or game status, the story said. The Rams play the Bills on Sunday and the Rams are in the thick of the NFC West Division race. The story added Stafford has taken 11 sacks and 25 hits the past four games and has been sacked 28 times this season.
