Matthew Stafford's back injury has been the biggest story of training camp for the Los Angeles Rams, and head coach Sean McVay didn't provide any official word regarding availability for the Sept. 7 opener against the Houston Texans even after the quarterback returned to practice Monday.

Stafford has reportedly been dealing with an aggravated disc in his back, and while he previously completed some private individual work where he threw behind the scenes, he had been sitting out of team drills.
