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 SeattleJANUARY 11, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
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.

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.
