John Wolford questionable for Thursday Night Football
LinkThe Rams are leaning toward having Baker Mayfield active for Thursday Night Football. Coach Sean McVay made it sound as if John Wolford‘s availability will play a part in whether Mayfield dresses.
Wolford was limited in Tuesday and Wednesday’s practices.
He has started two of the three games Matthew Stafford has missed. Third-stringer Bryce Perkins started Week 12 with Stafford out and Wolford’s neck injury limiting him to emergency backup duty.
“I feel bad for John,” McVay said, “that it’s been a thing that’s kind of pestered him because I thought he did a really good job the other day, and we’ll see what that means for tomorrow.”
The Rams ruled out defensive tackle Aaron Donald (ankle) for a second consecutive week. Donald had never missed a game for injury until last week.
Linebacker Travin Howard (hip), linebacker Terrell Lewis (back) and linebacker David Long Jr. (groin) also did not practice this week and won’t play.
Cornerback Troy Hill (groin), receiver Lance McCutcheon (shoulder) and receiver Brandon Powell (illness) are questionable. The Rams added Powell to the practice report Wednesday after he missed practice.
Hill and McCutheon were full participants Wednesday.
#HelmetHornsMatter
“Well, the color is good, I like the metallic blue,” Youngblood recently said while laughing, via NFL Journal. “The horn is terrible. It looks like a ‘C.’ When I first saw it on the logo I honestly thought it was a Charger logo.
“Now when I see it on the helmet, it just isn’t a ram horn. There is no distinct curl like a mature ram horn. I don’t know how the Rams could get that wrong. That is your symbol and it has been for what? Seventy years or more? Longer than I have been alive? It’s just not us, it’s not the Rams.”---Mr. Ram Jack Youngblood
