Matthew Stafford‘s back injury kept the 37-year-old quarterback out of practice Monday, despite expectations that he was set to get his first action of the preseason.
Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay said on Monday that the staff changed gears after Stafford didn’t feel “good enough” entering the day.
“We’re going to be flexible and fluid,” McVay said, via the team’s official website.
Stafford has sat out training camp practices with an aggravated disc in his back. NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported last week that the veteran quarterback has received epidurals to aid in managing the injury.
