John Wolford taken to hospital in ambulance with neck injury
John Wolford was taken to a local hospital due to a neck injury suffered in Saturday’s NFC Wild Card game between his Los Angeles Rams and the Seattle Seahawks.
Wolford was hit in the head by Jamal Adams on a tackle in the first quarter of the game (video here). The Rams quarterback was examined on the field by the team’s staff and then taken straight to the locker room.
