Rams Get Encouraging Matthew Stafford Update as Beginning of 2025-26 NFL Season Looms originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Los Angeles Rams fans received a promising update on quarterback Matthew Stafford's recovery as the 2025-26 NFL season approaches.

Last month, Sean McVay said he didn't have "any reason to be concerned" about Matthew Stafford. That's no longer the case, unfortunately.

Matthew Stafford has been sidelined by a back injury since the start of camp but Monday was supposed to be a big day for the Los Angeles Rams quarterback. Sean McVay anticipated Stafford returning to practice after a great workout on Saturday where he threw 60-plus passes without limitations, but the Rams opted to hold him out once again.
