Matthew Stafford Returns to Rams Practice

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford has returned to practice after experiencing tightness in his hamstring, initially limiting his participation to individual drills. By Tuesday, he progressed to full team drills, alleviating concerns about his readiness for the upcoming season. Rams coach Sean McVay emphasized the cautious approach to Stafford's recovery, aiming to prevent any risk of further injury. Backup quarterback Stetson Bennett is slated to start in the preseason finale against the Texans, while Stafford is expected to have his key wide receivers, including Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua, available for the season opener against the Lions. In a related note, Vikings cornerback Shaquill Griffin also returned to practice after a hamstring issue but is unlikely to play in preseason games. The Buccaneers resumed practice as well, with head coach Todd Bowles and players addressing the media about their preparations.
