Concerning Matthew Stafford News Emerges As NFL Season Approaches originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford was expected to return to practice on Monday, but things didn't go according to plan.

For Stafford, joining the Rams meant aligning an elite offensive play-caller in Sean McVay and having a championship-caliber supporting cast around him. The results were immediate as he threw for 4,886 yards and 41 touchdowns en route to L.A. winning a Super Bowl.

One of the biggest questions fantasy football managers are facing at the moment is this: When will Rams QB Matthew Stafford return to practice? He's been sidelined the past few weeks due to a back injury and Los Angeles is playing it safe with its 37-year-old starting QB.

NFL training camp has been in full swing since the end of July for the Los Angeles Rams, but two-time Pro Bowl quarterback Matthew Stafford has been noticeably absent.

There’s a different feeling around Flowery Branch. The intensity at practice has risen along with expectations, and most of it has to do with Michael Penix Jr., who many people believe will be the Falcons first franchise quarterback since Matt Ryan was traded three years ago.

Peter Schrager says the Rams are being "ultra cautious" with Matthew Stafford but if it were up to the QB, he'd be practicing right now.

Matthew Stafford is expected to workout with the Los Angeles Rams on Saturday, and Mike Florio shares why the "clock is ticking" is ticking for the team to make a decision at quarterback before Week 1.
