JOHN WOLFORD
#9 - QUARTERBACK - LOS ANGELES RAMS
231 YDS
0 TD
1 INT
What of LA Rams backup quarterback John Wolford? When you look at the LA Rams roster, one of the things that seem to jump off the page is how quarterback John Wolford does not seem to fit t...
Could push Goff for starting job The Rams may give Wolford (neck) a chance to compete with Jared Goff for the starting quarterback role in 2021, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Impact The 25-year-old Wolford saw his first NFL action Week 17, leading the Rams to an 18-7 victory over the Cardinals to clinch a playoff spot. He picked up another start in place of Goff (thumb) in the wild-card round victory over Seattle, but he left that game early after taking a big hit to the neck from a defender. While his brief stint under center was less than spectacular, Wolford seems to have made a strong impression on the Rams, potentially setting him up for a job battle in training camp.

Ruled out for Saturday Wolford (neck) won't play in Saturday's playoff game at Green Bay, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.
Impact Wolford is recovering from a stinger after his early exit in the wild-card win over Seattle. He hasn't been able to practice this week, and coach Sean McVay said the 25-year-old QB won't be able to play. Wolford will still travel with the team, but Jared Goff will get the start, with Blake Bortles serving as the backup.

Held out again Wednesday Wolford (neck) was a non-participant at Wednesday's practice, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.
Impact Instead, Wolford was a spectator while Jared Goff (thumb) logged another full session. Wolford may not be cleared to practice this week after enduring a stinger in Saturday's wild-card win over Seattle, and with just three days to go before a divisional-round game at Green Bay, Goff seems to be trending toward the start under center.

Not practicing Tuesday Wolford (neck) was a non-participant on Tuesday's practice estimate, Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Wolford got the nod at quarterback this past Saturday at Seattle with Jared Goff just 12 days removed from surgery on a dislocated right thumb. However, Wolford didn't last long, taking a hit on the helmet from Jamal Adams that eventually led to a visit to the hospital as a precaution. On Sunday, Wolford was diagnosed with a stinger and called day-to-day by McVay, according to Stu Jackson of the Ram's official site. While Wolford was held out of Tuesday's walk-through, Goff was a full participant following his 155-yard, one touchdown performance against the Seahawks. Still, McVay has yet to make a call on L.A.'s starting QB for Saturday's divisional-round game in Green Bay.

McVay: Rams expect Aaron Donald to play vs Packers All-Pro defensive tackle Aaron Donald is expected to play for the Rams on Saturday in Green Bay after injuring his ribs in Los Angeles’ playoff victory at Seattle

Listed as day-to-day Wolford (neck) is day-to-day with a stinger, per coach Sean McVay, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.
Impact Wolford was taken to the hospital after taking a shoulder to the head from Seahawks safety Jamal Adams early in Saturday's wild-card round win. Given that context, a day-to-day label is good news. Even if Wolford's able to gain clearance for Saturday's NFC divisional round matchup against the Packers, it's unclear who the Rams will roll with under center after Jared Goff played through a thumb injury and led the team to victory after Wolford's exit against Seattle.

Impact Wolford started the game in place of Jared Goff (thumb), but he exited early after taking a hit to the helmet from Seahawks safety Jamal Adams on a designed run in the first quarter. McVay predicted that Wolford has a stinger. While that's an encouraging prognosis, further testing needs to be done, and Wolford isn't in the clear for the NFC divisional round. Goff figures to be the starting quarterback even if Wolford returns.
