Los Angeles Rams QB John Wolford ruled out; Jared Goff to start vs. Green Bay Packers - ESPN

Quarterback John Wolford has been ruled out because of a neck injury, so Jared Goff will start, coach Sean McVay said Thursday.

McVay expressed disappointment that Wolford was unable to compete at practice this week, but the coach said Goff is making progress while recovering from surgery that he had on the thumb of his throwing hand on Dec.

"He's done a nice job throughout the course of the week," McVay said.

Packers coach Matt LaFleur told reporters Thursday that the decision to start Goff wouldn't affect their game plan "too much.".

Goff replaced Wolford and completed 9 of 19 passes for 155 yards, and he said after the game that it was tough when McVay told him Wolford would start.
