Matthew Stafford, sidelined due to a back issue, will work out for the first time Saturday prior to the Rams' game against the Cowboys. He is currently dealing with an aggravated disc and received an epidural for his condition. Coach Sean McVay stated that the workout aligns with the recovery plan set by spine specialist Dr. Robert Watkins. Stafford is expected to practice next week but will not join a joint practice with the Chargers. His workload will increase based on his recovery progress.
Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford, who has been sidelined because of a back issue, will work out for the first time Saturday before the Rams play the Dallas Cowboys at SoFi Stadium, coach Sean McVay said Thursday. Stafford, 37, is dealing with an aggravated disc, and recently received an epidural for the condition, McVay said, confirming what was first reported by NFL Media.
McVay said Stafford would practice next week, though he will not participate in a joint practice with the Chargers. 'And then you'll just continue to see his workload increase as long as he's feeling good,' McVay said.
Part of getting the epidural was part of the plan, set up by spine specialist Dr. Robert Watkins, McVay said.
If this was in-season he would be playing right now.
