Less than a day after ruling Matthew Stafford out for Week 13, the Rams announced Saturday the star quarterback has been placed on injured reserve, effectively ending his season.
Stafford, 34, has not played since Week 11 after he was diagnosed with a neck injury and placed in concussion protocol for the second time in a month after a hit to the head against the Saints. Rams coach Sean McVay told reporters Friday Stafford officially cleared protocol, but would remain inactive for L.A.’s home game against the Seahawks on Sunday. Backup QB John Wolford is set to start in Stafford’s place.
