McVay said that Stafford will not practice on the first and third days of the Rams' four-day training-camp practice blocks. The goal, said McVay, will be to keep Stafford 'fresh and ready to go' for Week 1.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalRole

Stafford getting reduced practice load to stay fresh for Week 1.

Rams coach Sean McVay will give Stafford a reduced practice schedule during training camp, holding him out on the first and third days of four-day practice blocks to keep him fresh and ready for Week 1. This is a deliberate management strategy rather than a response to injury; last year Stafford had back issues in camp but played the entire season, won his first NFL MVP award, and had one of the best seasons of his career, so he doesn't need full practice reps.
