For the Rams, Matthew Stafford is dealing with back issues, and backup Jimmy Garoppolo will likely rest. Coach Sean McVay customarily holds his best players out in the preseason.

The Dallas Cowboys and Los Angeles Rams begin their run-in to the preseason in the first exhibition game at SoFi Stadium.
