JOHN WOLFORD NEWS

Has chance to start Saturday Wolford is "prepared to start" in place of Jared Goff (right thumb) on Saturday in Seattle, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Impact According to Rapoport, Wolford took on most of the reps with the first-team offense this week as Goff works his way back from Dec. 28 surgery on a dislocated right thumb. Coach Sean McVay mentioned Thursday that he hasn't made a decision on who between Goff and Wolford will be under center for the Rams, but the former "is pushing to play." Such a call may not be known until shortly before Saturday's 4:40 p.m. ET kickoff.

Pushes team to postseason dance Wolford completed 22 of 38 pass attempts for 231 yards and one interception, adding six carries for 56 rushing yards during Sunday's 18-7 win against the Cardinals.

Impact With Jared Goff (thumb) ruled out for the first time since 2017, Wolford got the Week 17 start as Los Angeles had an opportunity to play its way into the postseason via a win or tie. An interception on the Rams' opening offensive drive was concerning from the former AAF standout, but Wolford rallied into form by remaining without a giveaway for the rest of the contest. It was a defensive slugfest Sunday as Arizona dealt with an injury to its starting quarterback Kyler Murray (ankle), but Wolford did enough to push his side to a wild-card matchup next weekend at Seattle. Were Goff to be deemed unavailable for the opening round, Wolford would seemingly be in line for another start given his winning performance against the Cardinals.
