With every team across the NFL in the thick of training camp and the preseason on the horizon, hope springs eternal. Fans can daydream recklessly about their favorite club emerging in 2025 and hoisting the Lombardi Trophy when it's all said and done.

Matthew Stafford is entering his 17th NFL season at age 37, and some injury concerns are warranted due to his stature. However, that did not stop the Los Angeles Rams media and parts of the fanbase from being worried over his lower back issues.

As the Rams move into training camp, starting quarterback Matthew Stafford has been dealing with back soreness and is considered week-to-week after consulting with the team’s spinal surgeon. Stafford’s situation remains fluid, but until something changes, the Rams will be relying on Jimmy Garoppolo to execute the offense.
