Being examined further Wolford (neck) was taken to the hospital for "precautionary measures" following his departure from Saturday's wild-card game in Seattle.

Wolford remained on the ground as the Rams' medical staff examined him before going to the locker room on his own. After he was deemed questionable to return, he later left the stadium in an ambulance and will undergo additional testing to figure out the extent of his neck injury. Jared Goff will continue to direct the offense with Wolford sidelined.

Leaves stadium in ambulance Wolford (neck) was transported from Lumen Field in Seattle via an ambulance, Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.com reports.

Impact In the first quarter of Sunday's wild-card game against the Seahawks, Wolford took a hit to the helmet as he went to the ground on a designed run and remained there for a spell. After he was evaluated by the Rams' medical staff, he was able to walk off the field under his own power and eventually was called questionable to return due to a neck injury. With the way in which Wolford left the stadium, it appears the issue may be serious and likely means Jared Goff will direct the offense for the rest of the contest.
