Former Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford won't say whether he'll be ready to start the season opener for the Los Angeles Rams.

The Los Angeles Rams could still be good with Jimmy Garoppolo under center, but they'd be better with Matthew Stafford.

The Rams’ veteran quarterback missed preseason action and most of training camp due to lingering back soreness — for which he’s received epidurals to manage pain — and his wife, Kelly Stafford, is taking speculation over his health in stride.

For Stafford, joining the Rams meant aligning an elite offensive play-caller in Sean McVay and having a championship-caliber supporting cast around him. The results were immediate as he threw for 4,886 yards and 41 touchdowns en route to L.A. winning a Super Bowl.

Stafford practiced for the first time during training camp on Monday as he works to recover from a lingering back issue.
