The Rams have taken a less-is-more approach with Stafford since he experienced pain in his throwing arm to begin training camp.
IRVINE — The Rams started Matthew Stafford’s new workout plan on Wednesday by having him be a spectator during team drills, something he will do for the six remaining training camp practices at UC Irvine.
The Rams took a less-is-more approach with the 14-year veteran quarterback because he was dealing with pain in his throwing arm after one week of training camp. Stafford had a full workload to begin camp after not throwing the entire offseason program because of an elbow injection he received. “He’s played very high-level football for a long time,” Kupp said. “He’s going to be able to throw the rock, and for him being out here and being able to see things, he’s still as engaged as ever. Whenever that time comes up, he’s able to get back out there and throw the ball, I know he’s going to be ready to go.”Backup quarterback John Wolford has been sharp while filling in for Stafford in team drills and has displayed chemistry with Kupp and wide receiver Allen Robinson.
“John has a process he goes by, and just like the receivers room, he’s pushing himself, challenging himself to be the best version of himself,” Kupp said. “So when he steps in and these kinds of situations come up, we can move into that place where he can now step in and run the show. I think he’s doing a great job. He’s a little bit shorter than Matthew, so getting used to feeling where the ball is coming out of, but he’s been doing such a great job.
