For the second time, Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford has spoken with No. 1 back surgeon, Dr. Robert Watkins.

"Some of the storms will produce heavy rainfall with 2 to 4 inch per hour rainfall rates," the NWS in Wichita said in a weather packet released early Thursday morning. "Flash Flooding is likely, especially for locations that experienced very heavy rainfall a few days ago."

The fact that Matthew Stafford isn't certain to participate in any joint practices is cause for concern, even with the season 5 weeks away.
