Rams' Matthew Stafford won't play against Chiefs but not because of concussion

LOS ANGELES — Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford is in concussion protocol but has been ruled out for their road game against the Kansas City Chiefs because of a neck issue suffered against the New Orleans Saints, coach Sean McVay explained Wednesday.

McVay said Stafford, although in protocol, has yet to be diagnosed with a concussion. He was examined during the Saints game after saying he felt numbness in his legs.

Bryce Perkins or John Wolford will start Sunday against the Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium for a Rams team that is 3-7 and has lost four games in a row.
