Matthew Stafford is unable to practice because of a back issue and will miss the upcoming joint practice with the Dallas Cowboys. His availability for the joint practice with the Chargers will be determined later. Stafford is being monitored by back specialist Dr. Steven Watkins, and Coach Sean McVay stated he is making good progress but is still considered week to week. Jimmy Garoppolo and Stetson Bennett are handling first and second-team reps, respectively, as the Rams prepare for their season opener against the Houston Texans.
Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford, who has not practiced because of a back issue, will not participate in Tuesday's joint practice with the Dallas Cowboys, and his availability for a joint practice with the Chargers the following week will be determined, coach Sean McVay said Saturday.
Stafford, 37, saw back specialist Dr. Steven Watkins again on Saturday, McVay said.
McVay reiterated that Stafford was 'week to week.' 'What I don't want to do is set a timeline,' McVay said. 'I know he's making good progress.'
Jimmy Garoppolo continues to take first-team reps in Stafford's place, and Stetson Bennett is directing the second-unit offense as the Rams prepare for their Sept. 7 opener against the Houston Texans.
