Overview

• Stafford underwent an epidural on Aug 4 to manage an aggravated spinal disc and has been designated week-to-week by the Rams.
• He has yet to take first-team reps in training camp as Los Angeles delays his full return to live practices.
• Backup Jimmy Garoppolo has stepped into first-team reps, giving the offense continuity while Stafford rehabs.
• The Rams remain optimistic Stafford will be ready to start in Week 1 at home against the Texans on Sept 7.
• With Davante Adams signed and Cooper Kupp departed, the Rams’ revamped passing attack now hinges on Stafford’s ability to stay healthy.
