Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford was placed in the NFL’s concussion protocol on Wednesday. According to The Athletic’s Jourdan Rodrigue, head coach Sean McVay said it is under the team’s understanding that this happened in the game, but that team discovered symptoms when following up standard checks with Stafford earlier this week.
Per a team spokesman, in correcting the Rams/McVay's earlier statement that Matthew Stafford entered the concussion protocol today (Wednesday)...Stafford entered the protocol on TUESDAY.
