Stafford, 37, has not practiced since the Rams opened training camp while receiving treatment from trainers and the team medical staff for what McVay initially described as back soreness. McVay said last Tuesday that Stafford would sit out the first block of practices, but return on Monday when the Rams will be in pads for the first time.

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford has missed the start of training camp due to a back injury, and the veteran will remain sidelined for longer than initially expected.

Though Sean McVay reiterated he does not expect Stafford to practice at all this week, he is not concerned about his quarterback.
