With Stafford sidelined, the Rams have been leaning on another veteran, 33-year-old Jimmy Garoppolo. Garoppolo, who has 64 starts across stints with the New England Patriots, San Francisco 49ers, Las Vegas Raiders and the Rams, has been leading the first-team offense throughout camp and would take the reins as QB1 if Stafford misses any time.

Garoppolo signed with the Rams in 2023 after an injury-filled year with the Las Vegas Raiders. He played in just one game — starting the regular-season finale against the Seattle Seahawks. He went 27-for-41 for 334 yards, two touchdowns and one interception.

Matthew Stafford is finally getting some well-deserved respect in Madden, rating as one of the best quarterbacks in this year's game.
