Sean McVay's Optimistic Assessment
Head Coach Sean McVay couldn't hide his excitement, stating, "It was good to have Matthew out there. He did a good job today." While McVay acknowledged Stafford's solid performance, he remained tight-lipped about any further updates.
Next Steps: A Cautious Approach
The Rams are taking a day-by-day approach with Stafford's recovery. McVay emphasized, "We’re getting a grasp of this. He’s doing everything in his power to return." However, he refrained from providing a timeline for Stafford’s practice schedule moving forward.
Is Stafford Ready for the Season Opener?
When pressed about Stafford's readiness for the season opener, McVay was cautious, stating, "That would be putting the cart way before the horse." The coaching staff is focused on gradual progress, with McVay expressing trust in Stafford’s efforts.
A Steady Recovery from Injury
At 37, Stafford's return is especially noteworthy as he has been sidelined due to a disc issue in his back. The Rams and their fans are eagerly watching for any signs of his recovery as the season approaches.
