Los Angeles Rams quarterback Jared Goff is already back at practice.
Goff suffered a thumb injury late in the season, and it looked like he wouldn’t be available for the playoffs after having surgery. (RELATED: David Hookstead Is The True King In The North When It Comes To College Football)
Jared Goff underwent surgery on his thumb this morning, John Wolford will start on Sunday.

While there’s been no concrete update on his status for Saturday against the Seahawks, he’s back at practice, as seen in videos from Gary Klein.

I’m not even sure how it’s possible that Goff is already back at practice after hurting his thumb, but there he is!
This injury was supposed to end his season. Now, it looks like it might have only knocked him out for a single game.
How the hell is that even possible?
More on Goff from @RapSheet and me: He will wait to see how the thumb is after the swelling goes down, but it is unlikely he’ll play next Sunday vs. Arizona. Could well be a season-ending injury. Will need surgery to repair. He reset the thumb himself on the field. Tough guy. https://t.co/4pjAZxpp5p

It now looks like there’s a very real chance that Goff is on the field Saturday against the Seahawks. If that’s the case, then they might actually have a chance.
No offense to John Wolford, but the Rams aren’t beating Russell Wilson and company with him under center. They just aren’t.

We’ll see what happens, but Goff being available would certainly change the dynamics of the game.
