Matthew Stafford practices with Rams in QB's first team workout of preseason
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Matthew Stafford practiced with the Los Angeles Rams on Monday, marking the quarterback's first workout with the team this preseason after having been unable to do so because of a sore back. Stafford, 37, took first-team reps during the session and did not speak to reporters afterward. Coach Sean McVay said it was too soon to know what the session means for Stafford's status going forward. 'I think that would be putting the cart way before the horse,' McVay said. 'I thought he did a good job today, and we had 26 plays of team (with Stafford), and (he) did a really nice job of managing the huddle. I thought he saw the field well. I thought he went where the balls would go, and there's some good competitive work on both sides today.' McVay has repeatedly declined to put any timeline on Stafford's availability, doing so again on Monday, after having initially said in July his starting quarterback would miss the first part of training camp. The Rams open the regular season on Sept. 7 by hosting the Houston Texans. 'I'm not going to pigeonhole myself into any plans,' McVay said. 'And so we're just really seeing how he feels. We're really taking it a day at a time and a week at a time right now.' While McVay said he was treating Monday's practice as another day, teammates were visibly excited to have the veteran going into his 17th season on the field. Stafford has led the team into the playoffs in three of his four seasons in Los Angeles, including winning the Super Bowl in the 2021 season. 'I think this group brings energy every day. I think that certainly was something that guys felt good about. Like, what I want to make sure is, let's just take it a day at a time. This represents a great opportunity that he wanted to be out there and do what he did today, and then we'll see what tomorrow really takes.' ___

Mainz overcomes Dynamo Dresden 1-0 in German Cup, Hertha survives scare
BERLIN (AP) — Nadiem Adli's brilliant free kick was enough for Mainz to overcome Dynamo Dresden 1-0 in the first round of the German Cup on Monday. The former Germany midfielder lifted the ball over the defensive wall and in off the left post in the 22nd minute, the only goal from a game in which second-division club Dresden missed more chances. In the final minute, Jakob Lemmer hit the side netting, leaving many home fans with their heads in their hands. Mainz coach Bo Henriksen was sent off shortly beforehand for holding onto the ball as the tension increased in a nervy finale. Hertha through on penalties Sebastian Grönning scored the winning spot kick for Hertha Berlin to progress against second-division rival Prueßen Münster 5-3 on penalties after their game ended scoreless with extra time. The home team had by far the greater chances — 27 shots at goal compared to Hertha's 11 — but couldn't make any of them count. Borussia Dortmund was playing later at nearby Rot-Weiss Essen. Essen, which won the German championship in 1955, is in the third division. ___

Jefferson returns to practice with Vikings in latest ramp-up of hamstring for regular season
EAGAN, Minn. (AP) — Justin Jefferson has rejoined the Minnesota Vikings for practice, after a mild strain of his left hamstring kept him sidelined for 3½ weeks. Jefferson was on the field for the light session on Monday, the latest ramp-up of his activity since he suffered the injury during the second practice of training camp on July 24. Because Jefferson missed seven games with a more severe strain of his right hamstring during the 2023 season and considering his importance to the team, the Vikings have been extra cautious with his recovery. Coach Kevin O'Connell said he didn't believe Jefferson would have to adjust his practice routine moving forward. 'He's done such a good job with building his strength and doing the work with the medical team and the strength team that I think he feels like he's pretty darn close and ready to go,' O'Connell said of the two-time All-Pro. The Vikings will be without Jefferson's primary sidekick, Jordan Addison, for their first three games while he serves a suspension for violating the NFL's substance abuse policy. Their third receiver, Jalen Nailor, recently jammed his hand and is on a week-to-week timetable to return, O'Connell said. He declined to address whether surgery was being considered for Nailor. The Vikings open the regular season on Sept. 8 at Chicago. ___ AP NFL:
