Can LA Rams manage the inherent risks of the COVID-19 outbreak for Jared Goff with one backup QB?

The LA Rams endured so many injuries in 2019, but quarterback Jared Goff remained unscathed. Unscathed as in uninjured. But there is a new threat to the LA Rams quarterback in 2020, and it’s not something the offensive line can prevent. It’s the potential contraction of Coronavirus, and the quarantine required for an NFL player until he no longer tests positive.

That could take several weeks or more. And if that happens to any NFL starter in the 2020 regular season, it’s bound to cause havoc.
