John Wolford is the Rams’ starting quarterback for Sunday’s big game against the Cardinals.
Rams coach Sean McVay confirmed tonight that Wolford will make his debut on Sunday in place of Jared Goff, whose broken thumb prevents him from playing on Sunday.
McVay sounded optimistic that Goff could return for the playoffs – if the Rams win the playoffs, which they would not do if they lost to the Cardinals and the Bears beat the Packers.
Bryce Perkins is in the Rams’ training group and is currently the only healthy fullback of the team other than Wolford. McVay’s Blake Bortles, who is currently in the Broncos ‘training group, will get a spot on the Rams’ active team. Bortles spent last season with the Rams, and he already knows the offense.
Wolford has never played in an NFL game in the regular season, but spent two years with the Rams, last year in the practice squad and this year on the active roster, and will now have the chance to show what he can do. do in a very big game.
