Rams place Matthew Stafford on IR in move that could signal end of QB’s season
Jourdan Rodrigue
The Rams placed quarterback Matthew Stafford on injured reserve with a neck injury, the team announced Saturday. While modern injured reserve rules allow players to return after four games, the 3-8 Rams have just six remaining games and little hope for the playoffs. The move could effectively signal the end of Stafford’s 2022 season.
Here’s what you need to know:
Stafford cleared his second of two stints in the concussion protocol on Friday, but coach Sean McVay said the team was still “gathering information” about a neck injury Stafford sustained in a Week 11 loss to the Saints.
After a hit in that game, Stafford said he felt numbness in his legs, and he was placed in the concussion protocol after leaving the field.
Stafford played in Week 11 just two days after his initial placement in the concussion protocol. The team said Stafford reported concussion symptoms in the days after a Week 9 loss to Tampa Bay. Stafford missed Week 10, and saw a specialist in Pittsburgh as he advanced through the five-step protocol.
McVay has said that any conversation with Stafford about shutting him down for the year would be collaborative and inclusive of medical experts as well as Stafford’s wife, Kelly.
What they’re saying
“Matthew’s the ultimate competitor,” McVay said Friday. “I think in a lot of instances, the best thing that you can do is protect him from himself. We will always make the best decision that he feels most comfortable with, that we feel most comfortable with.
“I know him. If there’s any inkling that he can play, this guy’s going to want to play. Now, is there a possibility that we say, ‘Hey…the smart thing is to not play you,’ and he could be upset with me, but I think he knows that I have his best interest and we have his best interest (in mind).”
The big picture
McVay said Friday that he has received no indication from medical experts about Stafford’s neck injury being chronic or long-term. Stafford didn’t throw in the spring and was on a pitch count into training camp for what was described as an “ongoing” elbow issue akin to tendinitis, but multiple people with knowledge of that situation said that Stafford felt great beginning the year. What wasn’t great was the state of the Rams’ offensive line, which gave up 63 hits on Stafford before his Week 11 return, a record in the McVay era, and has featured 11 different combinations through its 11 games.
Who will be Rams’ backup with Stafford out?
John Wolford will get the start against Seattle on Sunday, but Bryce Perkins will be available and could also get some snaps. The Rams signed practice-squad quarterback Case Cookus in November.
What the IR placement means for Stafford’s future
If Stafford is indeed shut down for the season, it’s the right call for his long-term health as the Rams look to 2023. Stafford and McVay are very much tied together professionally, so getting him back and healthy — and with a safe, productive situation around him — seems important for McVay’s immediate future with the Rams.

znModeratorJourdan Rodrigue@JourdanRodrigueThe Rams activated OLB Daniel Hardy out of the IR window. He had a good week of practice. They activated RB Malcolm Brown and DE TJ Carter from practice squad. They signed OLB Keir Thomas and WR Austin Trammell to the active roster.znModeratorMatthew Stafford has been placed on IR, forcing him to miss 4 games. With only 6 games left, I doubt we see him again in 2022 https://t.co/5r6Nc6AMaV

znModeratorroberto clemente@rclemente2121rams are currently 7-point home dogs vs seattle. it’s the most points vegas has ever given the rams at home since mcvay has been head coach. second most was 6.0 in 2017 when the rams sat their starters during the last game of the season – niners won 34-13. ugh.znModeratorDonald out. Stafford out. Kupp out. Only 1 player from the original OL is playing (Hav).
It’s clear what has happened. The football gods are playing a cruel trick on McVay to punish him. He refused to play starters during the pre-season. In retribution, they made him play a pre-season backup squad during the regular season.
So what we learn again is, don’t F around with the football gods.
znModeratorMatthew Stafford still dealing with neck injury.
Sean McVay says they're still "gathering information" about it, hasn't received any info indicating that it'll be a long-term or chronic issue, and still doesn't rule out shutting Stafford down for the year. https://t.co/MMRY0DgZwc— Jourdan Rodrigue (@JourdanRodrigue) December 2, 2022

RG Oday Aboushi has been out sick this week, so instead of heading back to OL combination No. 10, we could see combination No. 12 in 12 games. Will know more after practice today.— Jourdan Rodrigue (@JourdanRodrigue) December 2, 2022

“In situations like this, you know you’re (going to) figure out who has that dog in ’em, who has that resilience in them. You know who is playing this game for the love of the game, who is playing this game because they want to get better. It’ll show up – you can’t hide it,especially being where we’re at, unfortunate circumstance. But you can’t hide those aspects of the game when you’re not doing so hot. It’s gonna show up on Sunday, and I know guys are excited.” – Rams QB Bryce Perkins in locker room today.
