Garoppolo signed with the Rams in 2023 after an injury-filled year with the Las Vegas Raiders. He played in just one game — starting the regular-season finale against the Seattle Seahawks. He went 27-for-41 for 334 yards, two touchdowns and one interception.

ESPN's Peter Schrager shared his intel on the issue during a recent episode of The Pat McAfee Show. The NFL insider revealed that the Rams aren't worried that Stafford could miss Week 1 and that the team is just being cautious with their veteran starting quarterback.

The Rams have a timetable for quarterback Matthew Stafford’s recovery from a sore back, but Los Angeles coach Sean McVay does not plan on making it public to avoid the perception of a possible setback.
