Sean McVay won't publicly share the Rams' timetable for Matthew Stafford's return, but he remains "very confident" the QB will play Week 1.

As McVay indicates, Stafford's back is not expected to be a major issue, but it also opens the door for an underrated position battle to take center stage early on. Jimmy Garoppolo and Stetson Bennett figure to be the top quarterbacks in team drills while Stafford rests, with some Dresser Winn thrown in as well.

Quarterback Matthew Stafford will miss the second week of the Los Angeles Rams’ training camp to rest his sore back.
