LOS ANGELES — Quietly, as Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford and his balky back sucked up much of the oxygen around the team’s Woodland Hills facility, rookie tight end Terrance Ferguson also returned to practice this week.
While any question about a quarterback’s aggravated disk is going to be a primary concern for any franchise, Ferguson was the subject of much intrigue when training camp opened in July. People around the Rams wanted to see how much the second-round pick would be ready to contribute as a rookie, viewing his ability to contribute as a ceiling-raiser for the 2025 offense.
A groin injury interrupted Ferguson in Week 2 of camp, and he spent the subsequent weeks rehabbing on the sidelines or standing next to tight ends coach Scott Huff, observing the team’s scrimmages.
