The Rams have placed quarterback Matthew Stafford on injured reserve according to the team's official website.

The move all but assuredly ends Stafford's season in what amounts to a lost season. He would technically be eligible to return to action in Week 17 for the team's final two games, but the question arises as to why the team would bring him back with the team out of playoff contention. His season ends with just 2,087 pass yards, 10 touchdowns, and eight interceptions.
