The Rams played their first preseason game on Saturday night, beating the Cowboys 31-21 in Los Angeles. The best news of the night came after the contest, however, from head coach Sean McVay.

Speaking to reporters postgame following his team's preseason opener, McVay offered a positive health update on star quarterback Matthew Stafford. Stafford has been battling a back issue throughout training camp and hasn't practiced since the roster gathered for the official start of camp in late July. That seems set to change soon, though, as McVay said Stafford threw dozens of passes on Saturday without issue and will be worked back into practice starting Monday.
