Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford spoke with the media for the first time about the back injury that had sidelined him from practice until this week.

At long last, Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford has opened up about the mysterious back injury that has kept him sidelined for almost a month. And he began said remarks with the perfect joke.

Stafford has reportedly been dealing with an aggravated disc in his back, and while he previously completed some private individual work where he threw behind the scenes, he had been sitting out of team drills. This is a step in the right direction with the Rams' season opener vs. the Houston Texans now less than three weeks away.
