Rams' Baker Mayfield active, but John Wolford starts vs. Raiders
INGLEWOOD, Calif. -- Los Angeles Rams quarterback Baker Mayfield is active Thursday night against the Las Vegas Raiders, less than 48 hours after he landed in Los Angeles after he was claimed off waivers Tuesday, but John Wolford got the start.
Sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Thursday that the Rams wanted to see how Wolford's neck responded during pregame warmups before making a final decision on a starter, with Mayfield expected to start if Wolford wasn't healthy enough to play.
Wolford took all the team snaps during warmups before it was determined he would start.
Quarterback Bryce Perkins is also active for the Rams on Thursday night.
