Sean McVay specified Stafford’s injury as a neck issue, said the Rams are still waiting to learn if Stafford suffered a concussion last week against the Saints.
THOUSAND OAKS — Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford was placed in the concussion protocol for the second time this season and will miss Sunday’s road game against the Kansas City Chiefs, coach Sean McVay announced Wednesday.
McVay said it hasn’t been determined whether Stafford sustained a concussion in last week’s loss against the New Orleans Saints and specified Stafford’s injury as a neck issue. Stafford entered the blue medical tent because he felt numbness in his legs after taking a sack midway through the third quarter. McVay said Stafford is no longer experiencing the numbness in his legs.
“He is in the concussion protocol, that does not mean he has a concussion,” McVay said. “He’s got a neck issue right now and we’re continuing to gather evidence, but he will be out this week with that neck issue. He is in that protocol because of the way he exited the game.” McVay declined to say if the Rams are considering placing Stafford on injured reserve, which would sideline him for a minimum of four games with seven games left in the regular season. McVay revealed Monday that Stafford sustained a concussion during his previous stint in the protocol, which forced him to miss the Week 10 game against the Arizona Cardinals.
