LaFleur was looking to give one of the quarterbacks he worked with on the Rams a chance to compete for reps against Jacoby Brissett in Arizona. Now it appears that L.A. continues to be in the running for Garoppolo as a backup to Matthew Stafford once again.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Garoppolo has spent the past two seasons backing up Stafford, a role that one would think might have resulted in more opportunities for the former Patriots, 49ers, and Raiders quarterback due to Stafford\u2019s age and a few ailments.
