Overview

  • Matthew Stafford remains sidelined with recurring back soreness and has not yet returned to full-team practice sessions.
  • Jimmy Garoppolo and Stetson Bennett have assumed first- and second-team reps, though both are viewed as short-term solutions.
  • Media outlets have floated Atlanta Falcons quarterback Kirk Cousins as a potential trade target, noting his familiarity with coach Sean McVay.
  • Any acquisition of Cousins would require a waiver of his no-trade clause and likely involve Atlanta covering part of his $27.5 million salary.
  • Coach Sean McVay plans to address Stafford’s status in Monday’s press conference as the Rams finalize roster plans before Week 1.
