Matthew Stafford’s back injury recovery is going to be put to the test. Rams coach Sean McVay told reporters Thursday that Stafford, who is battling an aggravated disk, will participate in workouts Saturday morning. The quarterback was not a part of practice on Wednesday or the Rams’ joint practice with the Saints on Thursday.

Matthew Stafford will go through another lengthy workout Saturday to test his injured back before the Los Angeles Rams' second preseason game. Coach Sean McVay said the 37-year-old quarterback will do much the same workout he did last Saturday before the Rams beat the Dallas Cowboys at SoFi Stadium.

The most recent development from Rams coach Sean McVay is that Stafford is going to work out this Saturday with the hopes that his back responds better than it did during his last workout, per ESPN .
