Goff to Serve as Backup QB vs. Seahawks

After the fourth preseason game, Rams head coach Jeff Fisher said even though quarterback Jared Goff was likely to begin the season as the No. 3 QB, he had a chance to move up to backup for the home opener.

That chance has now become reality as Fisher announced Friday that Goff will be the No. 2 quarterback for Sunday’s contest against the Seahawks, behind starter Case Keenum.

“He’s going to be [No.] 2 and he’s ready to play,” Fisher said. “He’s gotten some reps throughout the week, so good for him. It will be exciting for him, knowing he’s a snap away from going in the game.
