The Rams have a timetable for quarterback Matthew Stafford’s recovery from a sore back, but Los Angeles coach Sean McVay does not plan on making it public to avoid the perception of a possible setback.

Stafford has missed 11 games over the last three years. Since the start of the 2022 season, Stafford has dealt with a pedal toe sprain, an elbow infection, an elbow sprain, a spinal cord injury, a hip strain, a thumb sprain, and a lower lumbar sprain, according to Draft Sharks.

The Los Angeles Rams are trying to pivot as starting quarterback Matthew Stafford is dealing with an injury. However, head coach Sean McVay has given some declarations as to his level of confidence on backup Jimmy Garoppolo.
