He’s looking great, he’s always been great, so it’s just great to be out there with him again and see him healthy, and see him slinging it like he does. It’s good to just be out there and get some passes with him.”</i></p><p>Matthew Stafford was not able to play the Rams’ final seven games in the 2022 NFL regular season due to concussion symptoms and spinal cord contusion, but is seemingly healthy enough to continue being Los Angeles’ starter come Week 1 of the 2023 campaign.</p><p>In <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/rams-news-matthew-staffords-strong-super-bowl-message-for-la-in-2023-per-wife-kelly" rel="noopener">nine appearances in 2022</a>, Matthew Stafford threw for 2,087 yards and 10 touchdowns against eight interceptions on a 68 percent completion rate.</p><p>Apart from Matthew Stafford, the Rams also have rookie Stetson Bennett, veteran backup Brett Rypien, and Dresser Winn below him on the team’s quarterback depth chart. None of the backups present a potentially serious challenge for Stafford’s status as the team’s No. 1 signal-caller.</p><p>As for Jefferson, who was taken in the second round (57th overall) by the Rams in the 2020 NFL Draft, he is also taking aim at having a much more productive 2023 season than the one he had in 2022 during which he played in only 11 games and registered 369 receiving yards and three touchdowns on only 24 receptions.</p><p> </p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

He had some big plays on tape. There’s no question he was running by some people, but he’s a guy in my mind that can do it all. It’s great to have guys like that.”</p><p>Hopefully, this is the spark the Rams offense needs, who currently rank 25th in total yards and 29th in points with just 17.3 per game. A victory over San Fran would move them to 4-3 on the year.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The Buffalo Bills walked all over the defending champs. Now, the Rams will be taking on the Atlanta Falcons in Week 2. Unfortunately for LA, the injury concerns to wide receiver Van Jefferson remain.</p><p>Jefferson underwent knee surgery and missed Week 1 as he recovers. The latest update on the 26-year-old wideout, according to Sarah Barshop of ESPN, is bittersweet. Although the young receiver is “making great progress,” he will miss his second consecutive game of the season, Rams head coach Sean McVay said.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Sean McVay said WR Van Jefferson (knee) is "making great progress," but he won't play against the Falcons.</p><p>— Sarah Barshop (@sarahbarshop) <a href="https://twitter.com/sarahbarshop/status/1570843718701428737?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">September 16, 2022</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>Jefferson was <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/rams-news-van-jefferson-injury-update-is-bad-news-for-los-angeles-matthew-stafford/">expected to miss more than one game</a> and now that is the reality for the Rams.

His 802 receiving yards last year were the second-most on the team.</p><p>The Rams must get Allen Robinson more involved in the passing game. After getting targeted just once in the season opener, Robinson said that sometimes, that’s <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/rams-news-allen-robinson-speaks-out-on-lack-of-targets-from-matthew-stafford-in-week-1-loss-vs-bills/">just how it shakes out</a>. Against a weaker defense, he should be able to help Los Angeles much more frequently on offense. Cooper Kupp will certainly have another big day to carry the offense.</p><p>Even without Van Jefferson, the Rams <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/los-angeles-rams-4-bold-predictions-for-week-2-vs-falcons/">should collect their first win of the season</a> against the Falcons. The offense should bounce back overall and the defense will have a much easier time against Marcus Mariota than Josh Allen.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Stafford says he is fully good to go following an <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/rams-news-matthew-stafford-and-childhood-pal-clayton-kershaw-shared-eerily-similar-offseason/">injury to his throwing elbow</a>. However, the offense lost many key players this offseason and the Bills present a big challenge right out of the gates of the 2022 season.</p><p>The Rams aren’t completely out of the count, though. Kupp and Robinson are still a formidable tandem at the wide receiver spot and Los Angeles has Cam Akers and Darrell Henderson Jr. to rely on in the ground game.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
