Stafford received an anti-inflammatory shot in his right elbow
shortly after the Super Bowl victory over the Cincinnati
Bengals.
Stafford was unsure if he would throw later in the offseason,
while Rams coach Sean McVay speculated Stafford wouldn't throw
until close to training camp.
"We're taking it a day at a time right now, but the goal and the
thought process was that he'll start to ramp that up when we get
closer to training camp," McVay told reporters at OTAs. "He's
able to communicate with us in how he's feeling. But the plan
all along has been, ‘let's really stress above-the-neck and
things that we can control, but be smarter than anything else
with him, especially with his experience and his ability to
communicate with us."
Donald, who turned 31 on Monday, is looking for a rich contract
extension after reaching the Pro Bowl in all eight of his
seasons, as well as being a three-time NFL Defensive Player of
the Year.
Donald has three seasons remaining on a six-year, $135 million
deal. He is set to receive $37.25 million in base salary over
the next three seasons.
McVay said that dialogue "has been good" when asked about
negotiations with Donald. McVay said he called to wish Donald a
happy birthday.
"He's done a great job of communicating, with my relationship
with him, and he gets a chance to spend time with his family
right now, so I feel good about that," McVay said.
