The Rams quarterback, who started in place of Jared Goff (recovering from thumb surgery), was photographed being placed in an ambulance after exiting the game with an apparent head/neck injury.

The Rams originally designated Wolford as questionable to return with a neck injury.
Wolford was removed from the game after a controversial hit from Seahawks safety Jamal Adams, hitting the quarterback in the helmet with a shoulder as he was heading to the ground.
Wolford remained down for a few moments before team doctors and trainers tended to him. Fortunately, Wolford was able to walk off the field under his own power. Some felt that Adams’ hit was a bit late, but no flag was thrown on the play. Fox officiating analyst Mike Pereira said Adam’s was a late hit that should have been flagged.
Wolford was replaced by Goff, who started the game on the bench 12 days removed from surgery to repair a mangled thumb. The Rams entered halftime with a 20-10 lead over home Seattle.
Wolford made his NFL debut in Week 17, pushing the Rams to a victory and a playoff berth over the Cardinals.
