After Matthew Stafford's private workout, Stetson Bennett and Xavier Smith will be among the Rams eager to play well against the Chargers.

Matthew Stafford’s back injury recovery is going to be put to the test. Rams coach Sean McVay told reporters Thursday that Stafford, who is battling an aggravated disk, will participate in workouts Saturday morning. The quarterback was not a part of practice on Wednesday or the Rams’ joint practice with the Saints on Thursday.
