Matthew Stafford has another full practice, Jimmy Garoppolo sits out

Our Summary

Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford is expected to play against the Bears on Sunday despite a right finger injury. Stafford participated fully in practice for the second consecutive day and has expressed confidence in his availability. However, there is uncertainty regarding his backup, as Jimmy Garoppolo was added to the injury report with a back injury and did not practice Thursday. If Garoppolo is unavailable on Sunday, Stetson Bennett will serve as Stafford's backup. Additionally, right guard Kevin Dotson was limited in practice due to an ankle issue, while several players, including cornerback Darious Williams and defensive tackle Poona Ford, were full participants.
