Rams HC Sean McVay announced that QB Matthew Stafford has entered the league’s concussion protocol on Wednesday, per Jourdan Rodrigue.
This puts Stafford’s Week 10 availability in doubt. Los Angeles would be forced to play John Wolford or Bryce Perkins if the veteran quarterback isn’t cleared in time for Sunday’s game.
Stafford, 34, is a former first-round pick of the Lions back in 2009. He was in the final year of his five-year, $76.5 million contract when he and the Lions agreed to a five-year, $135 million extension back in 2017.
Stafford was involved in a blockbuster trade that sent him to the Los Angeles Rams in exchange for QB Jared Goff and draft picks last year. He signed a four-year extension worth $160 million that includes $135 million guaranteed back in March and is set to earn a base salary of $1,500,000 this season to go along with a $12 million signing bonus.
In 2022, Stafford has appeared in eight games and completed 68.4 percent of his passes for 1,928 yards, eight touchdowns, and eight interceptions. He’s also rushed for five yards.
