Jared Goff Undergoes Thumb Surgery, Eyes Playoff Return

Rams quarterback Jared Goff underwent surgery on his broken thumb on Monday, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Goff is unlikely to play against the Cardinals on Sunday, per Schefter. He could reportedly return to the field in two weeks if Los Angeles reaches the playoffs.

John Wolford is expected to start for the Rams on Sunday. Wolford has never thrown an NFL pass, though he did toss 59 touchdowns in four seasons at Wake Forest from 2014-17. As the Rams look to clinch a playoff berth on Sunday, they'll need a major effort from Wolford in his NFL debut.
