John Wolford will make his second career start today. The Rams will turn to their backup again, with Jared Goff active and serving as an emergency backup, Jay Glazer of Fox Sports tweets.
Goff underwent thumb surgery last week. Although the longtime Rams starter went through warmups, Sean McVay confirmed Wolford will make a second straight start.
Having previously never missed a start due to injury, Goff played after suffering the thumb injury in Seattle two weeks ago. He did not play well and then sat in Week 17. Wolford accounted for nearly 300 yards against Arizona last week, rushing for 56 on six carries.
A Wake Forest alum, Wolford began his pro career as a Jets UDFA in 2018. His most notable pre-Rams action came with the Alliance of American Football, however. When the AAF folded midway through its inaugural season, Wolford signed with the Rams in April 2019. He spent last season behind Goff and Blake Bortles. Despite the Rams signing Bortles off the Broncos’ practice squad, Wolford will start in Los Angeles’ playoff opener.
i dont see how Goff could’ve played
He’s in the game literally right now
You sure he’s not figuratively in the game?
100 percent turn on game he’s in wolford in hospital
lol whoosh
Maybe he has Spectrum, in which case, there is a good chance DarkSide actually can’t see it?
that comment aged very poorly. but ive gotta say, takes mad guts to play QB the week after surgery
No player wants to be a spectator in game where your entire season is on the line. You play through the pain for your teammates because you know they would do the same for you.
Goff is a overpaid scrub
Interesting what they will do at QB this off-season. Going to cost a lot to move on from Goff.
I root for any team that play the luckiest team in the league crybaby and arrogant Seahawks. Their fans are libtards
They have spent the last 2 seasons beating up on bad teams. Anyone who pays attention knew they were a pretender.
Show us on the doll where Russell hurt you
Dalton I am not a libtard or arrogant I am in mourning so a little sympathy would be nice. Not sure what we did to your precious team but we didn’t mean to hurt your feelings. It is just a game.
Most important I hope Wolford is OK. It is always tough to see a guy go down like that.
I love it!!!!! Won’t have to hear in Seattle how great they supposedly are anymore this year !!!!
Is mr goody two shoes still anybody’s mvp? Other than in Seattle
Sorry you are so bitter. Wilson hasn’t been a true fans MVP since week 5.
Trade Goff for Wentz
Yuck. Both ways.
Bye, Seahawks. Take your 12th man and head for the exit.
Madman every player from your state has been on vacation for a week. It is also the 12s now not 12th man. A&M wanted too much money and only sued Seattle when multiple teams used the term and paid nothing.
Two years in a row the Seahawks knock the QB out of the playoffs with an unpenalized cheap shot.
