ESPN's Peter Schrager shared his intel on the issue during a recent episode of The Pat McAfee Show. The NFL insider revealed that the Rams aren't worried that Stafford could miss Week 1 and that the team is just being cautious with their veteran starting quarterback.

Russo placed Matthew Stafford at the top of his NFC quarterback list, ahead of Jalen Hurts and Jayden Daniels. This ranking comes despite Stafford’s age and diminished mobility, highlighting his clutch performance and proven track record.

The Rams have a timetable for quarterback Matthew Stafford’s recovery from a sore back, but Los Angeles coach Sean McVay does not plan on making it public to avoid the perception of a possible setback.
