Rams' Matthew Stafford: Won't play this week

Rams head coach Sean McVay confirmed Wednesday that Stafford won't play in Sunday's game against Seattle, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.

Jimmy Garoppolo will make the start, with Stafford and other key players resting in preparation for a wild-card-round matchup with the Packers, Buccaneers or Falcons. Stetson Bennett is set to dress as the backup to Garoppolo, leaving Stafford as the team's emergency No. 3 quarterback for Week 18.
