The Los Angeles Rams hit the field on Monday for their first padded practice of training camp, increasing the intensity and physicality as Week 1 approaches. It was a run-heavy day by design, Sean McVay said, which helped set the tone for practice moving forward.

LOS ANGELES, Ca. The Los Angeles Rams took part in their sixth practice of their 2025 training camp schedule, continuing to work as they prepare for a grueling preseason. After practice on Monday, Sean McVay spoke to reporters regarding the state of his team.

The Rams have a timetable for quarterback Matthew Stafford’s recovery from a sore back, but Los Angeles coach Sean McVay does not plan on making it public to avoid the perception of a possible setback.

Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford is currently week to week with a back problem. That makes Jimmy Garoppolo the man in L.A., until Stafford is ready.

With Stafford sidelined, the Rams have been leaning on another veteran, 33-year-old Jimmy Garoppolo. Garoppolo, who has 64 starts across stints with the New England Patriots, San Francisco 49ers, Las Vegas Raiders and the Rams, has been leading the first-team offense throughout camp and would take the reins as QB1 if Stafford misses any time.
