The Rams have a timetable for quarterback Matthew Stafford's recovery from a sore back, but Los Angeles coach Sean McVay does not plan on making it public to avoid the perception of a possible setback.

The Los Angeles Rams are playing it close to the chest with quarterback Matthew Stafford’s current health situation.
