The Athletic's Jordan Rodrigue said the Rams will deploy a backfield "committee of sorts" to "alleviate" Darrell Henderson of a full workload.

Matthew Stafford exited Monday's practice after hitting his throwing thumb on a player's helmet.

Stafford immediately left the field with his thumb wrapped and holding his helmet. After practice, coach Sean McVay said, "I don't know anything, yet. I think he'll be OK." It's notable because Stafford needed offseason surgery to repair a torn ligament in the same thumb after initially injuring it in November. Stafford played through the issue the rest of the season. It's something to watch over the next couple days.

ESPN's Chris Mortensen reports the Colts will not be trading for Nick Foles, Marcus Mariota, Gardner Minshew, or any other veteran quarterback "at this time."

Per Mort, Carson Wentz (foot surgery) will start his rehab in two weeks and has yet to be ruled out for the Week 1 opener. The Colts will take a wait-and-see approach under center, rolling with Jacob Eason, Brett Hundley, and rookie Sam Ehlinger for the remainder of the summer, giving Wentz a chance to be back early in the season. If things get complicated, Indy's tune could obviously change. Foles' connection with coach Frank Reich has made him the Colts' most likely trade target.
