>>Rams QB Stafford Expected To Start Season Opener
(Agoura Hills, CA) — The Rams are expected to have their franchise quarterback on the field for Week One. Los Angeles coach Sean McVay said that Matthew Stafford is expected to start the team’s season opener against the Houston Texans on Sunday. Stafford missed nearly the entire first month of training camp while dealing with an aggravated disk in his back. He has been a full participant in practice since his return on August 18th. The 37-year-old is entering his 17th NFL season and is just 191 yards shy of 60-thousand career passing yards. McVay also said the plan is for left tackle Alaric Jackson to play Sunday after dealing with lower leg blood clots.
>>Chargers RB Harris Cleared For Contact
(El Segundo, CA) — Chargers running back Najee Harris has been cleared for contact entering the first week of the regular season. The Los Angeles tailback missed all of training camp because of an eye injury he sustained during a fireworks mishap on the Fourth of July.

Harris has never missed a game during his NFL career and is entering his first season with the Chargers. In other news, wide receiver Quentin Johnston has cleared concussion protocol and appears in line to play Friday.

It’s the first time since joining Miami in 2022 that Hill was not named a captain.
>>Giants Remain Quiet On Second String QB

He is 6-and-11 with a 4.82 ERA through 24 starts this season. The A’s also recalled infielder/outfielder Max Schuemann from Triple-A Las Vegas and selected right-hander Scott McGough from Triple-A.
