Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay provides an update on quarterback Matthew Stafford.
Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford exited practice early on Wednesday during the Rams' joint practice against the Dallas Cowboys in Oxnard, California. Stafford was experiencing tightness in his hamstring and was pulled in the middle of practice out of precaution.
Stafford is coming off a relatively healthy season with the Rams in which he was able to play 15 games for the team. The 36-year-old did miss one and a half games with a UCL sprain in his thumb, but returned to help the Rams win seven of their last eight regular season games and make the playoffs. Stafford completed 62.6 percent of his passes for 3,965 yards, 24 touchdowns, and 11 interceptions in 2023 before the Rams went on to lose to the Detroit Lions in the wildcard playoffs.
Keeping Stafford healthy is of course a primary goal for the Rams this season, especially to remain as playoff and even Super Bowl contenders. It will also be especially important for Stafford to be good to go for the first two games of the season when primary backup quarterback Garoppolo will be suspended after violating the NFL's policy on performance-enhancing drugs.
