Matthew Stafford, former Georgia QB, enters NFL concussion protocol

Former Georgia quarterback Matthew Stafford has been placed in concussion protocol as Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay indicated on Wednesday.

This prompts some questions as to whether not he will be available for Sunday’s game against the Arizona Cardinals, which will be the first one he has missed since back in 2019 when he was with the Detroit Lions.

In the case that Stafford is to be sidelined, John Wolford next up to start in his place with Bryce Perkins to serve as the backup signal-caller.
