Backup quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo is facing uncertainty regarding his availability for Sunday’s playoff matchup against the Bears. He was marked as questionable after missing practice on Thursday and Friday.
Injury Update on Jimmy Garoppolo
Garoppolo’s setback reportedly stems from a back issue that flared up earlier this week. Despite taking the field for three games this season, he only participated in 18 snaps without making any pass attempts.
Possible Replacement if Garoppolo Can’t Play
If Garoppolo is unable to play, Stetson Bennett is set to serve as the backup quarterback to Matthew Stafford. This change could be crucial for the Rams as they head into the divisional round.
Other Injury Concerns
- Desjuan Johnson: The defensive end has been added to the injury report due to an illness.
- Kevin Dotson: The offensive guard is scheduled to return after participating fully in Friday’s practice, following an ankle injury he sustained during the game against the Seahawks.
The Rams will need to closely monitor Garoppolo’s condition leading up to the game. His absence would significantly alter their game plan as they prepare to face the Bears.
