John Wolford to Start for Rams vs. Seahawks; Jared Goff Active with Thumb Injury

Quarterback Jared Goff will not get the start for the Los Angeles Rams in their NFC Wild Card Round playoff game against the Seattle Seahawks on Saturday.

Rams head coach Sean McVay told Jay Glazer of NFL on Fox that John Wolford will start for the second consecutive week with Goff serving as the backup.

The 26-year-old Goff suffered a broken right thumb in his team's Week 16 game, requiring surgery on Dec. 28. He was unable to play in the Week 17 game to decide the Rams' playoff fate, but John Wolford did enough under center to help his team pull out the victory over the Arizona Cardinals.
