        Rams QB Matthew Stafford missed the totality of training camp so far, dealing with a back injury. ESPN's Adam Schefter reported today that it shouldn't prevent him from being ready for Week 1. The Rams open the season against the Texans.

        What They're Saying

        Adam Schefter of ESPN: "Though Matthew Stafford hasn’t practiced at this summer’s training camp due to his back injury, it does not sound like an issue that will prevent him for being ready for opening day vs. the Texans."

        2025 Fantasy Football Impact

        Stafford saw multiple back specialists so the prognosis must have come back fairly positive.

        With Puka Nacua and Davante Adams' value tied to Stafford, this is a clear sigh of relief for their fantasy managers.

        Stafford enters his age-37 season, and even if he plays through the injury, it could resurface.

        We currently place him at an 80% injury risk for the upcoming season.
