Sean McVay won't publicly share the Rams' timetable for Matthew Stafford's return, but he remains "very confident" the QB will play Week 1.

The Los Angeles Rams are playing it close to the chest with quarterback Matthew Stafford’s current health situation. The 37-year-old veteran is dealing with back soreness and has now missed his second straight week of training camp. When asked about Stafford’s status, head coach Sean McVay didn’t offer much clarity.

Week-to-week always implies a longer absence than day-to-day. And it's rarely a one- or two-week thing. While Stafford is obviously the kind of player who will show up when it counts, the situation raises real questions about whether the back problems will linger for the 37-year-old quarterback.
