Rams' Matthew Stafford: Stuck in concussion protocol
Rams head coach Sean McVay said Tuesday that Stafford remains in the NFL's concussion protocols, Eric Williams of FoxSports.com reports.
McVay wouldn't confirm that Stafford has been diagnosed with a concussion in the aftermath of the Rams' Week 9 loss to the Buccaneers, but the fact that the quarterback has now been stuck in the protocols for seven days suggests strongly he's dealing with one. The team should have a better idea regarding Stafford's availability for Sunday's game in New Orleans later Tuesday or Wednesday, but John Wolford -- who started in place of Stafford in a Week 10 loss to the Cardinals -- may continue to see first-team reps at quarterback to begin prep for the Week 11 matchup. Even if Stafford clears the protocols in advance of the game against the Saints, he'll be working behind a depleted offensive line and won't have top target Cooper Kupp (ankle) available, with the standout receiver undergoing surgery Wednesday that will keep him sidelined for at least the next four games.
