Open Extended ReactionsLOS ANGELES -- Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford did not practice Monday after being expected to take part in individual drills in his return to practice from an aggravated disk in his back. Monday's practice was expected to be the next step in Stafford's return from back soreness after he threw 68 passes at the Rams' practice facility Saturday morning. Instead, Stafford was in street clothes during practice while walking into a "restorative and rejuvenation" chamber parked next to the Rams' practice field. Shortly after practice began, Matthew Stafford walked into this Ammortal chamber, which helps with "restoration and rejuvenation." When asked whether surgery has been ruled out for Stafford, McVay said, "That hasn't been a conversation that we've had."
