Matt Stafford isn't practicing still.

So how concerning is that?

What can we learn from DAC about Micah's deal?

And what's the realistic expectation in New England?

All that plus some key injury news.

It's time for inside coverage, the why and how of everything that happens in the NFL.

I'm Jason Fitz. I'm back. I can barely escape me for just a second. I'm joined tonight by

with Jory Epstein. As always, as we break down everything that's happening across the league. And, I mean, I got to laugh about it a little bit because I got all the one show before it's back to me and Jory being back together talking all things NFL. So, Jory, I know, I know you missed me for the one show I wasn't around, but

it feels good. Like, look, this is just reminding everybody that even though now my main function is to be on Yahoo Sports Daily, that's where I am every morning, 9 to 11 a.m. Shameless plug. It took me seconds to get there. I'm still going to be around the inside coverage family. so look you can't you can't run away from me i even got i managed to stay in the group text which is

really the test. Like when you leave a show, if you get to stay in the group text, it means that things went pretty well. That's all that, that's all that really matter to me. Well, I was laughing Fitz because you were talking about, oh, no, I'm not going to be in the group text. I'm going to miss this group of people. And I'm feeling a little bit badly that even though you have this awesome new show that you're transitioning to, we've got great content coming. I'm like, we're losing one of our friends. He won't be on the text. And then we start three new versions of a group text for the show, all of which you are still on. so you can't get away from us that easily. Yeah, no, just to see how the group text treats CROB is really the main reason that I want to stay in it every single day. We've got a lot to get to. If you have been an inside coverage fan for a long time and you're not aware, this is the new thing for us. So 6.30 p.m. Eastern live right here for you on YouTube. We are here Monday through Thursday, giving you all the news you need to know.

And Jory, obviously, you've been around training camp. But I want to start with big pressing news in the NFL in the form of obviously quarterbacks because so much obsession is paid.

But this is particularly important. Matt Stafford still not practicing.

So when Matthew Stafford not practicing, McVeigh has said, this is a quote, I don't have any

reason to be concerned based on the information that's been given. I'm a little stunned, Joey,

because I'm sitting here looking at a team with Super Bowl aspirations and a quarterback that's

just a few months ago was

supposedly being looked at possibly as a trade candidate. There were rumors of first round picks

being bandered about and now all of a sudden a bad back and he can't play at all. Like this

feels absolutely stunning to me from the outside looking in with the Rams. Yeah, I think we

talked about this some yesterday. But what I'll say is that when I was

at Rams training camp about a week before Matthew Stafford was supposed to return, there was this

idea of like, look, we don't have concerns. We do believe he's going to be okay. He's 37. Does he
