LOS ANGELES — Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford was cleared from concussion protocol but, because of a neck issue, John Wolford will start Sunday against the Seattle Seahawks at SoFi Stadium, coach Sean McVay said Friday. Stafford has not practiced since he was placed in concussion protocol after being sacked in a game at New Orleans on Nov. 20. McVay said Stafford's availability for the remaining five games would be determined upon evaluation and discussion the next few weeks. But this week McVay has opted to start Wolford, who started in a defeat by the Arizona Cardinals on Nov. 13. "Really just an opportunity to see if he can build on some of the things that he's done," McVay said of what went into the decision to start Wolford.
