The Los Angeles Rams seem confident their star quarterback will be back on the field soon.Matthew Stafford suffered a back injury this offseason, though according to NFL insider Adam Schefter, the team may be keeping him out merely as a precaution."He (Stafford) still hasn’t practiced in training camp, but the Rams do not sound concerned," Schefter said on Tuesday. "This sounds more like a maintenance issue where they’re being smart with their 37-year-old QB who they feel like doesn’t need the work necessarily right now."While it’s not certain the two-time Pro Bowler and former Super Bowl champion is 100%, Schefter said the team is confident he could play now if necessary.“They feel like if there were a game today, Stafford would be able to play.”The 37-year-old quarterback has suffered his share of injuries throughout his NFL career, including hurting his hip, sustaining concussions and missing time with thumb issues and back spasms.Last season, he started 16 games for the Rams, completing 65.8 percent of his passes while throwing for 3,762 yards and 20 touchdowns.There was a chance Stafford wouldn’t even be a Ram this offseason after he was granted permission to speak with other teams. He had discussions with the New York Giants and Las Vegas Raiders but ultimately returned to Los Angeles, where he restructured his contract.While it’s unclear when Stafford might play again, he won’t participate in Tuesday’s practice game against the Dallas Cowboys. Coach Sean McVay said Jimmy Garoppolo will lead the first-team reps, while Stetson Bennett will lead the second team.Matthew Stafford’s ex-teammate believes he and Davante Adams will be “fine”The Rams seem unconcerned about Stafford’s shoulder, and one of his former teammates isn’t worried about how he’ll mesh with one of his new receiving weapons.There has been speculation that Stafford’s absence could impact his chemistry with Davante Adams, who signed a two-year deal with the Rams in March.On Monday, NFL insider Dan Orlovsky said he isn't worried:“So, I just believe that those guys have thousands of reps themselves, and they’ll be fine. I truly, truly believe that this is a non-thing and that he will be fine.”Adams has recorded five 1,000-yard receiving seasons in his career and is expected to add depth to the Rams' receiving corps, complementing Puka Nacua.The Rams open the preseason Aug. 9 against the Dallas Cowboys.
