Los Angeles said it was for “precautionary measures.”

Rams coach Sean McVay told FOX Sports before the game that Wolford was going to start as Jared Goff is only more than a week removed from having thumb surgery. Goff and the Rams hadn’t been in a playoff game since losing to the New England Patriots in Super Bowl LIII.

Wolford, a rookie from Wake Forest, started in his first career game last week against the Arizona Cardinals. He helped the Rams solidify a playoff spot with the 18-7 victory and knocked the rival Cardinals out of postseason contention.

He was 22-for-38 with 231 yards and threw an interception.
