Stafford full practice participant this week, McVay says

LOS ANGELES -- Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford was a 100 percent participant in practice this week in his return from a back injury, head coach Sean McVay said Thursday.

On Monday, Stafford practiced for the first time during training camp after aggravating a disk in his back during the offseason. Stafford, who spoke about the injury on Thursday for the first time, said there wasn't just one moment when he sustained the injury, but that it's "something that crept up on me a little bit."

Stafford declined to go into specifics about the injury or say whether he anticipates being ready for the Rams' season opener against the Houston Texans on Sept.
