The Los Angeles Rams are walking a tightrope heading into the 2025 NFL season. Their hopes for a competitive campaign rest squarely on the shoulders—and, more importantly, the back—of 37-year-old quarterback Matthew Stafford.

Former NFL QB Shuts Down Matthew Stafford Injury Concerns originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Matthew Stafford is entering his 17th NFL season at age 37, and some injury concerns are warranted due to his stature. However, that did not stop the Los Angeles Rams media and parts of the fanbase from being worried over his lower back issues.
