On Monday morning, NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport tweeted that “it’s expected to be challenging for (Jared Goff) to play” on Saturday. He did not cite that there were any “sources.” He did not announce any actual news. By the safest account, Rapoport may have simply observed that Jared Goff will be less than two weeks removed from thumb surgery when the LA Rams play the Seattle Seahawks in the wild card round and that it might be a good bet to expect John Wolford.
Fair enough. I just wanted to clear that up, because these “tweeters” have a way of disguising hunches as news.
