Rams QB Matthew Stafford to Miss Training Camp, Set for Season Opener Against Texans

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford will be missing training camp next week as he continues to recover from back soreness, according to head coach Sean McVay. The 37-year-old signal-caller, who helped the Rams achieve a 10-7 record last season, is expected to be ready for the season opener against the Houston Texans on September 7.

McVay emphasized the importance of a week-at-a-time approach with Stafford's recovery, noting that rushing him back to playing could potentially result in an unnecessary setback. The Rams are taking a cautious approach with their star player, allowing him to work primarily with the team's training staff off the field during the first week of training camp.

Stafford, who racked up 3,762 passing yards and 20 touchdowns through 16 games last season, feels really good about the modified schedule. The Rams have the luxury of having a player like Stafford, who can miss practice time without significantly impacting the team.

McVay stated that Stafford did not experience a setback and reiterated that the end goal is for him to be ready for the season opener. The Rams plan to keep Stafford on a modified schedule once he returns to practice.

The Rams' head coach also mentioned that the importance of practice is not being minimized, but the modified schedule is deemed the best for Stafford and the football team. McVay expects Stafford to start Week 1 against the Texans.

In a positive note, Stafford recently restructured his contract with the Rams, earning $44 million for the 2025 season, all of which is guaranteed. The search results do not provide information about the name of the doctor or injury manager treating Stafford for his back issues.

Despite the setback, the Rams remain optimistic about their chances in the upcoming season, with Stafford at the helm. Fans will be eagerly waiting to see the veteran quarterback back in action when the Rams take on the Texans in Week 1.
