John Wolford Fantasy

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers will sign quarterback John Wolford from their practice squad to the active roster on Tuesday. The move comes after the Los Angeles Rams tried to pluck Wolford off Tampa's practice squad on Monday because of a right-thumb injury that quarterback Matthew Stafford suffered in the Week 8 loss to the Dallas Cowboys. The Minnesota Vikings might also be interested after just losing Kirk Cousins for the season due to a torn Achilles. Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell has experience with Wolford from their time together with the Rams. Wolford's four regular-season start in his career came with the Rams and he spent the last three years with the team. The 28-year-old signal-caller will continue to back up Baker Mayfield and Kyle Trask in Tampa.

Updating a previous report, the Los Angeles Rams were intending to sign quarterback John Wolford off of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers practice squad but they were informed Wolford will now be staying in Tampa. The Rams are looking for QB depth behind Brett Rypien with Matthew Stafford (thumb) day-to-day with a UCL sprain in his right thumb that he suffered in the Week 8 loss to the Dallas Cowboys. It made sense for the Rams to reunite with the 28-year-old Wolford since he played for the team the last three years, but that won't be happening now. The Rams have a bye in Week 10, so it would not be surprising to see them hold Stafford out this Sunday in Green Bay against the Packers.

The Los Angeles Rams are expected to sign quarterback John Wolford off the Tampa Bay Buccaneers practice squad, according to sources. Wolford spent the last three seasons with the Rams, so it would be a reunion with the Rams in need of QB depth after Matthew Stafford's thumb injury in the Week 8 loss to the Dallas Cowboys. The 28-year-old is unlikely to see any real playing time, as Brett Rypien would be the likely starter in Week 9 against the Green Bay Packers if Stafford is ruled out with a UCL sprain in his right thumb. Wolford completed only 58.7 percent of his 104 pass attempts for 626 yards, one touchdown and five interceptions in seven games (four starts) for the Rams since 2020.
