Saints alert! Rams’ Matthew Stafford finally clears concussion protocol
Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford was cleared from concussion protocol Friday and will play Sunday against the Saints in New Orleans, the team announced.
Stafford, who has been in concussion protocol since Nov. 8, sat out last week’s defeat by the Arizona Cardinals.
Stafford has passed for eight touchdowns, with eight interceptions.
The 14th-year pro was a full participant in practice this week.
“He’s had great command, great communication with his teammates,” McVay said before Friday’s practice. “He’s looked really good. He’s been the Matthew that we all know and love.”
The Times’ Sam Farmer analyzes each matchup and predicts the winners in NFL Week 11. The Vikings will beat the Cowboys while the Rams and Chargers will lose.
Center Brian Allen is out because of a thumb injury that required surgery last week. Linebacker Travin Howard (hip) also is out. Backup quarterback John Wolford (neck) and defensive lineman A’Shawn Robinson (illness) are questionable.
McVay said that David Edwards suffered a setback in his attempt to come back from a concussion that has sidelined him for several weeks.
The Rams signed offensive tackle Zachary Thomas from the Chicago Bears’ practice squad. Thomas played at San Diego State and was selected in the sixth round of the 2022 draft.
