Coach Sean McVay indicated that Nacua is on track to be ready for the season opener against the Lions. Additionally, other players like Darious Williams and Jonah Jackson are also making progress in their recovery. The Rams are optimistic about their lineup as they prepare for the upcoming game.

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford is dealing with tightness in his hamstring but is expected to return to practice next week. Head coach Sean McVay emphasized the team's cautious approach to Stafford's health, stating that he left a joint practice against the Dallas Cowboys as a precaution. Backup quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo is currently suspended for the first two games of the season, leaving third-string quarterback Stetson Bennett to lead the team in the preseason opener.

Stetson Bennett, the Los Angeles Rams' backup quarterback, made his return to the field in the preseason opener against the Dallas Cowboys after nearly a year away due to mental health issues. Despite throwing four interceptions, he managed to lead the team to a last-minute victory with a touchdown pass. Rams coach Sean McVay emphasized the importance of Bennett's resilience and ability to respond under pressure, while also noting the need for improvement in ball security. With Jimmy Garoppolo suspended for the first two games, Bennett is set to step up as the backup to Matthew Stafford.

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford left practice early due to hamstring tightness, raising concerns about his availability for the upcoming season. With Stafford sidelined, backup quarterbacks Jimmy Garoppolo and Stetson Bennett took over practice reps. Garoppolo is currently suspended for the first two games of the season due to a violation of the NFL's performance-enhancing substances policy. Stafford had a solid performance last season, completing 62.6% of his passes for nearly 4,000 yards.

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford exited practice early due to a tight hamstring. This injury raises concerns about his availability for the preseason, as he is not expected to play in any games leading up to the regular season. With Stafford sidelined, second-year quarterback Stetson Bennett is set to take on a larger role in practice and potential game situations. Additionally, Stafford's contract situation remains stable, with no new years added, ensuring he will be with the Rams for at least the next two seasons.

The Los Angeles Rams will place backup quarterback Stetson Bennett on the reserve/non-football injury list. Bennett will miss at least the next four games. Rams quarterback Brett Rypien will continue to back up Matthew Stafford.

Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay said there is a 'definite possibility' that star wide receiver Cooper Kupp could end up on injured reserve due to a hamstring injury. Kupp has already been ruled out for the season opener against the Seattle Seahawks and the Rams have until Saturday to make a decision. If placed on injured reserve, Kupp would miss at least the first four games of the regular season. McVay also mentioned that rookie quarterback Stetson Bennett and tight end Hunter Long are candidates for injured reserve as well.
