About this episode

The Rams are adjusting Matthew Stafford's training camp role to prioritize his health for playoff performance.

The Rams are rethinking Matthew Stafford’s training camp role, opting to keep him rested to stay fresh for playoff contention—his MVP-caliber 2023 performance came after sitting out camp with a back injury. With Stafford turning 38, the team prioritizes his health over reps, opening the door for young QBs Ty Simpson and Stetson Bennett to gain crucial development time. The plan? Maybe just a week of practice before preseason, enough to build chemistry without risking injury. The goal? Peak Stafford in December and January, when his late-season dip in interceptions has been a concern. It’s a calculated gamble: protect the veteran’s health to maximize playoff impact, even if it means sacrificing camp reps.
