● Matthew Stafford showed no throwing limitations while fully participating in a scrimmage with the Rams, further underlining the Super Bowl-winning quarterback’s declaration that his injured elbow will be fine. Stafford made all sorts of throws during the lengthy scrimmage at the Rams’ training complex, and coach Sean McVay said he was pleased by the latest step in the veteran quarterback’s increased workload.
