Jimmy Garoppolo Faces Uncertainty for Sunday’s Clash Against Bears
Backup quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo faces uncertainty for the upcoming divisional round game against the Bears. He is currently listed as questionable after missing practice on both Thursday and Friday.
Injury Concerns for Garoppolo
Garoppolo’s absence from practice is attributed to a back issue that arose earlier in the week. This marks a concerning development for the Rams, as Garoppolo has played only a limited role this season, with just 18 snaps over three games. Notably, he has yet to throw a pass this year.
Backup Plans
- If Garoppolo is unable to play, Stetson Bennett is set to back up starting quarterback Matthew Stafford.
Other Injury Updates
The injury report also includes defensive end Desjuan Johnson, who is questionable due to illness after being a non-participant in Friday’s practice. On a positive note, offensive guard Kevin Dotson is expected to return after completing a full practice on Friday, following an ankle injury sustained during the recent loss to the Seahawks.
Summary of Key Injuries
