Overview

• Sean McVay told reporters Stafford is expected to start Sunday and participate in a full week of preparation.
• Stafford missed nearly the first month of camp with an aggravated disc in his back and returned to full practice on Aug. 18.
• Medical management included an epidural, and the Rams have used a conservative ramp-up to protect the veteran quarterback.
• If Stafford is unavailable, veteran Jimmy Garoppolo is the planned replacement at quarterback.
• Left tackle Alaric Jackson rejoined practice and is on track to play as the team manages his blood-clot condition.
