Rams head coach Sean McVay provided a rather concerning update on Matthew Stafford's back issue as the NFL regular season inches near.

With Matthew Stafford still working through his back injury, the Rams quarterback will not take part in a joint practice session with the Dallas Cowboys.

During the offseason, Stafford was rumored to be a potential candidate to leave the Rams. However, despite the rumors, the team was able to work out a two-year, $84 million deal that kept him in town for the next two years.
