"My understanding, this elbow issue, which actually cropped up in the spring, is described to me as bad tendinitis," Ian Rapoport said. "It is a tendon issue in his throwing elbow. [He] had a little of a procedure -- not a surgery, but a procedure -- more of a PRP-type deal in the offseason to try to manage it. Did not get to a place where he really needs it to be. I think long-term, everyone in L.A. thinks this is going to be fine. I don't sense any stress about it, but it's a quarterback. It's a throwing arm. Obviously, something we need to monitor going forward."

Stafford didn't throw during the Rams' spring workouts and had his reps limited earlier this week.
