John Wolford - Page 4 - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Serving as Rams' starter Wolford started for the Rams in Thursday's game against the Raiders, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.

Impact Wolford was the favorite to start, though both Baker Mayfield and Bryce Perkins are also active. It's possible that any combination of those players takes snaps in Thursday's game, but Wolford will have the first chance to lead the offense. Entering Thursday's game, he had completed 38 of his 62 passes for 390 yards, one touchdown and three interceptions.

Impact Wolford didn't take the field during warmups, but he did emerge for pregame work, taking snaps from starting center Brian Allen. Assuming his sore neck checks out well, Wolford will be under center following Thursday's 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff ahead of Baker Mayfield, whom L.A. claimed off waivers Tuesday. There's a chance Wolford cedes snaps to Mayfield at some point, and the Rams' receiving corps is depleted, so the former doesn't exactly have a great situation in which to succeed Week 14.

Impact The Rams will release their inactive list 90 minutes ahead of the 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff, but even if Wolford isn't included on the list, he may not be guaranteed to make his second consecutive start like the team planned. If Wolford's sore neck doesn't respond as well to warmups as hoped, the Rams could still keep him available as an emergency backup, in which case new acquisition Baker Mayfield would likely step in to start in his L.A. debut. Despite being claimed off waivers from the Panthers on Tuesday and not arriving in Los Angeles until later that day, Mayfield is already up to speed with the Rams' game plan after practicing Wednesday, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. The Rams also have Bryce Perkins on hand as another option at quarterback, but both Wolford and Mayfield look to be ahead of him on the depth chart.

McVay: Baker Mayfield likely to be active for Rams vs Vegas

Coach Sean McVay says Baker Mayfield probably will be active for the Los Angeles Rams’ game against the Raiders on Thursday night

DECEMBER 7, 2022 • Associated Press

Status in question for Thursday Wolford (neck) is listed a questionable for Thursday's game against the Raiders, Anthony Galaviz of The Fresno Bee reports.

Impact Wolford drew the start at quarterback for the Rams in Week 13, a contest in which he missed one snap after getting his foot stepped on by a Seahawks defender. On Monday, head coach Sean McVay said Wolford was dealing with a sore neck, which resulted in him being listed as a non-participant on Monday's estimated practice report before upgrading to limited listings during Tuesday's walk-through session and Wednesday's jog-through session. With Wolford's status in question for Thursday, the Rams' quarterback situation remains unsettled, especially after the team's claim of Baker Mayfield off waivers Tuesday. If he's active, Wolford likely will be out there for L.A.'s first offensive snap, but Mayfield and Bryce Perkins are the other candidates to get reps Thursday.

Limited Tuesday Wolford (neck) was listed as limited on Tuesday's practice estimate, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.

Impact Wolford's limited estimation is a trend in a positive direction, as he was considered a non-participant at Monday's walk-through. More clarity on his status for Thursday's matchup with the Raiders will come following Wednesday's injury report. If he is ultimately forced to sit out, Bryce Perkins would likely be the next man up under center. It should be noted the Browns claimed Baker Mayfield off waivers Tuesday, which means he will be competing for a chance to direct the Rams' offense down the stretch.

Listed as DNP Wolford (neck) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's practice estimate, Vincent Bonsignore of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.

Impact The Rams didn't practice, so Monday's report was simply an estimate. Wolford drew the start in Week 13 with Matthew Stafford (neck) on IR and played all put one offensive snap. The severity of the issue remains unclear, but Wolford will have two more chances to log a full practice before the team needs to make a decision on his status for Thursday's matchup against the Raiders. If Wolford is sidelined, Bryce Perkins would likely be the next man up.

Considered day-to-day Coach Sean McVay said Monday that Wolford suffered a neck injury during Sunday's loss to the Seahawks and is considered day-to-day, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.

Impact With Matthew Stafford (neck) on IR, Wolford drew his second start of the season in Week 13 and completed 14 of 26 passes for 178 yards and two interceptions. He played all but one offensive snap but appears to have picked up a neck injury of his own. With the Rams on a short week, it's very possible Bryce Perkins could be in line to start Thursday's matchup against Las Vegas. However, Wolford's participation at practice this week will likely provide further clarity on the Rams' quarterback situation.

DECEMBER 5, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Poor showing in loss Wolford completed 14 of 26 passes for 178 yards and two interceptions in Sunday's 27-23 loss to the Seahawks. He added 29 rushing yards on five carries.

Impact The Rams' passing game predictably struggled with Matthew Stafford (neck), Cooper Kupp (ankle) and Allen Robinson (foot) all on IR, and no Los Angeles receiver topped four catches or 48 yards Sunday with Wolford running the offense. Stafford seems unlikely to play again this season, but that doesn't guarantee Wolford will keep his spot atop the QB depth chart -- especially after this performance -- as Bryce Perkins could get another look at some point. Coach Sean McVay should clarify early in the week who his starter will be for Thursday's meeting with the Raiders.
