Coach Sean McVay says, ‚Nothing that’s changed in terms of a setback‘ as the team decides to take it week to week with their 37-year-old quarterback.
Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford made his first appearance on the training camp field Saturday, but instead of a red quarterback jersey he was in a black T-shirt. And despite expectations to the contrary, the veteran will be in street clothes for a while longer.
Stafford will miss at least another week of practice as he continues to recover from back soreness, head coach Sean McVay said Saturday after practice at Loyola Marymount University.
The original plan had been for Stafford, 37, to return to practice Monday. But McVay said he spoke out of turn when he told reporters that date Tuesday. And after speaking with Stafford, vice president of sports medicine Reggie Scott and Dr. Robert G. Watkins IV – the Rams’ spine surgeon – the team has decided to take a week-to-week approach with Stafford’s recovery.
