LOS ANGELES -- The Rams have placed quarterback Matthew Stafford on injured reserve.
Stafford would be eligible to return to the active roster in Week 17.
Stafford has not played since he injured his neck in the Rams' Week 11 loss to the New Orleans Saints, a game he left after being evaluated for a concussion. Coach Sean McVay later said Stafford felt some numbness in his legs after taking a hit in that game. Stafford cleared the concussion protocol on Dec. 2.
Stafford was playing against the Saints just two days after he was initially cleared from the concussion protocol.
