The positive news for Los Angeles Rams fans came in waves on Monday. Supporters were thrilled to learn that starting quarterback Matthew Stafford was back on the practice field. Even as head coach Sean McVay stressed that this was only the first step toward getting his quarterback ready for Week 1, the update hit like a drenching rain on drought-riddled fields. Fans soaked it all in.
The team also got good news with rookie tight end Terrance Ferguson finally returning to practice. He had been sidelined for several weeks with a groin pull, and the staff took the cautious route by easing him back slowly and deliberately.
