John Wolford Status
rotoWire
The Rams didn't extend Wolford a qualifying offer or contract tender as a restricted free agent Wednesday, so he's officially an unrestricted free agent, per the NFL's transaction log.
What it means:
Wolford appeared in three games for the Rams in 2022, completing 38 of 62 passes for 390 yards, one touchdown and three interceptions across 120 offensive snaps. He also rushed eight times for 32 yards and fumbled three times, losing only one. The undrafted quarterback out of Wake Forest has been a viable fill-in option over the past three seasons when Matthew Stafford or Jared Goff has been injured, so it wouldn't be surprising to see the Rams bring Wolford back on a cheaper deal than his tender would've been.

Wolford completed 38 of 62 passes for 390 yards, one touchdown and three interceptions during the 2022 season, while adding eight rushing attempts for 32 yards.
What it means:
Matthew Stafford (neck) going down for the season gave Wolford the chance to prove his worth as the Rams' primary backup quarterback. Wolford, who had just one start to his name coming into the season, started in Week 10 and struggled, throwing for 212 yards, a touchdown and an interception while losing a fumble. Wolford then missed the next games with a neck injury, and returned in Week 13. The two weeks of rest did nothing to prevent another rough outing for the 27-year-old quarterback, as he threw for just 178 yards and a pair of interceptions. The third-year signal caller out of Wake Forest is a restricted free agent, but the Rams may choose to move on from the struggling Wolford and bring in veteran depth as an insurance policy for Stafford.

Wolford (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Seahawks, Gary Klein of the Los Angeles Times reports.
What it means:
Wolford had missed each of the Rams' previous three matchups due to a neck injury, but he'll now miss this weekend's matchup versus Seattle as a result of a coach's decision. Bryce Perkins is slated to serve as Baker Mayfield's only backup quarterback option Sunday.
rotoWire
Wolford (neck) wasn't listed on the Rams' first injury report of Week 18 on Wednesday, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.
What it means:
Prior to the last three games, Wolford didn't practice due to a persistent neck injury and was inactive on each occasion. Now that he's mixed back in drills and handled every rep, he can resume serving as a reserve signal-caller on game day. Currently, Baker Mayfield is filling in for Matthew Stafford (neck), so Wolford and Bryce Perkins are the other two QBs available to the Rams in a pinch.
rotoWire
Wolford (neck) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Chargers, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.
What it means:
Wolford will miss his third consecutive game after failing to practice during Week 17 prep with a persistent neck injury. As a result, Bryce Perkins will continue to serve as the Rams' backup quarterback behind starter Baker Mayfield.
rotoWire
Wolford (neck) didn't practice Wednesday, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.
What it means:
Wolford hasn't logged any notable on-field work since playing the first three offensive snaps in a Week 14 win against the Raiders, which also marked Baker Mayfield's first game action with the Rams. A lingering neck issue is to blame for Wolford's continued absence, and as long as he's sidelined, Bryce Perkins will remain the direct backup quarterback to Mayfield.
