Rams QB Matthew Stafford seems to be progressing well, practicing every day this week after missing nearly a month with a back injury.

Leavitt, a redshirt sophomore, showed plenty of promise in his first year as the Sun Devils' starter. The 20-year-old QB threw for 2,885 yards, 24 touchdowns and six interceptions, and he rushed for another 443 yards and five touchdowns.

Matthew Stafford’s back responds well to one-hour workout, enabling him to practice with more confidence as Rams prepare for season opener.
