Latest Matthew Stafford news sparks concern

Stafford appears to have suffered a setback from how he was feeling on Saturday when he threw 68 passes at the Rams' practice facility before the team's first preseason game against the Dallas Cowboys.

McVay called Stafford's workout on Saturday "awesome."

"It was awesome," McVay said via ESPN. "He looked good. He threw the ball really well. There was no limitations in terms of the types of throws -- deep, intermediate, short. We were moving the launch point, and he felt really good. And so looking forward to progressing him back into practice on Monday, but it was a good step in the right direction."

Things are not looking awesome for Los Angeles now. The Rams have quarterbacks Stetson Bennett IV, Jimmy Garoppolo and Dresser Winn on the depth chart behind Stafford. 

Only Bennett had passing reps against the Cowboys on Saturday night, going 16-of-24 passing for 188 yards, two touchdowns and one interception.

While McVay believes Stafford would be ready to play if it were the regular season, the issue appears fluid and could worsen during the duration of the fall.
