Matthew Stafford to have reduced practice schedule during training camp

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford will not practice on the first and third days of training camp practice blocks, as announced by coach Sean McVay. This decision aims to keep Stafford fresh ahead of the regular season. Last year, Stafford's limited practice time raised concerns, but he ended up playing the entire season, earning his first NFL MVP award. Stafford's backups, Ty Simpson and Stetson Bennett, are anticipated to benefit from additional practice reps in his absence. The Rams are also considering the potential return of Jimmy Garoppolo as a backup.
