NFL Week 13 - Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford has been placed on injured reserve with a spinal cord contusion, according to The Athletic's Jourdan Rodrigue. According to Rodrigue, the injury is expected to sideline Stafford for the rest of the season.

Stafford has missed three games this season, suffering a concussion and a neck injury. Stafford was on pace to post his worst DVOA as a starter since 2009.

In the games Stafford has missed, the Rams have replaced him with John Wolford and Bryce Perkins. The Rams are already without a number of players on offense, with Cooper Kupp on injured reserve and Allen Robinson out for the year.

I know injuries are a thing in the NFL, but this has been ridiculous. Who's left for the Rams?

While it sucks to see injuries destroy any team's season, I do appreciate the Rams tanking on behalf of the Lions so they don't have to do it themselves.

Wagner and Ramsey basically.

Though they may break their streak of starting a different o-line combination this week.

This could be all she wrote for Stafford, he's 34, just won a Super Bowl, and is already a centimillionaire, I don't think there are many people in that position who would go through some spinal surgery and want to stay on in the NFL.
