Team news: Los Angeles Rams | Page 1

New quarterback Baker Mayfield, who became a member of the team at 4:00 p.m. ET on Tuesday night, could play on Thursday night, when the Rams host the Raiders.

Mayfield was rumored to be heading to San Francisco, but other rumors said the Rams would scoop him up to stick it to their division rivals. Others said the Rams have several prime time games coming up over the finals weeks of the season and Mayfield could be a way to keep interest in the fan base. Wolford is also dealing with some injuries so there is also a need with Perkins pretty much unproven. No matter what the reason, Mayfield is a Ram, and it's possible he jumps right into action on Thursday night, although it's probably a longshot. The team did send Mayfield the playbook to study on the way to LA, according to the story.

The Rams placed quarterback Matthew Stafford on injured reserve Saturday.

The move all but ends Stafford’s season. He can return in Week 17, but the season will have been long gone by then, so there is really no need for the Rams to play him. Doesn’t mean they won’t, but there’s almost no benefit to play him. The Rams could mix between John Wolford and Bryce Perkins going forward. Stafford can be safely dropped at this point.

John Wolford will start Sunday, per Sean McVay, and Bryce Perkins will be available as well. Sounds like the Rams could use both.

Matthew Stafford has apparently cleared concussion protocol, but the team is still keeping him out. It would be difficult to roll out practically any fantasy piece associated with this team at the moment. For the desperate, Van Jefferson could be considered a WR3/4, Tyler Higbee has a moderate probability of being a TE1/2 and Kyren Williams may operate as an RB3/4.

Quarterback Matthew Stafford remains in the concussion protocol and though he is progressing through it, head coach Sean McVay said, via multiple reporters, that it’s “safe to say” Stafford won’t play in Week 13.

Bryce Perkins started last week’s game at quarterback. The Rams also have John Wolford, who started the Week 10 loss to Arizona.

Stafford was also listed with a neck injury on last week’s injury report, as he didn’t play in Sunday’s loss to the Chiefs. The quarterback missed the Week 10 loss to the Cardinals while in the concussion protocol. He was cleared for the Week 11 loss to New Orleans, but left the game with a neck injury and was subsequently placed back into the concussion protocol. As the story points out, there’s a chance the Rams could shut Stafford down for the season given the team's current record.

The Rams officially ended Allen Robinson‘s season Tuesday, placing him on injured reserve.

Robinson injured his foot in Week 11 against the Saints, and a CT scan Friday revealed a stress fracture on the navicular bone and will need surgery to repair the injury.

The hits keep coming for the Rams. Robinson had 33 catches on 52 targets for 339 yards and three touchdowns in 10 games for the team. Robinson remains under contract with the team through 2024 after signing a three-year, $46.5 million deal in March. Jefferson, Skowronek, Atwell and Powell will be the team's top-four WRs. Needless to say, the Rams offense looks to be one to stay away from in fantasy.

Rams WR Allen Robinson will undergo season-ending foot surgery, Rams head Sean McVay said Sunday.

Robinson was found to have a stress fracture on his foot Friday and he was listed as questionable for Sunday against the Chiefs. He would become inactive for the game and now will be out for the rest of the season, marking the second Rams receiver to suffer a long-term injury, joining Cooper Kupp. Robinson finishes with just 339 yards and three touchdowns on 33 catches. Van Jefferson and Tutu Atwell look to be the top guys for the Rams going forward, though their season is lost at 3-8.

Rams QB Matthew Stafford out for Week 12 with a concussion

The Rams are expected to give Perkins first-team reps this week, per Rapoport and Tom Pelissero. The tweet went on to say this would pave the way for a potential start given injuries to starter Stafford and Wolford (neck). This would be the first start for the former UDFA from Virginia.
