Rams’ Matthew Stafford in Concussion Protocol After Hit vs. Saints

Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford has entered concussion protocol after a two-man sack in the third quarter. Signal-caller Bryce Perkins has entered the contest in his place.

The move comes two weeks removed from a concussion Stafford suffered against the Buccaneers in Week 9. He missed the team’s Week 10 matchup against the Cardinals.

With 9:38 remaining on third and eighth, Stafford took a hard hit from linebacker Demario Davis and defensive end Tanoh Kpassagnon. He entered the Rams’ medical tent, per team staff writer Stu Jackson, and then went into the locker room to be evaluated for a concussion, per ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
