Leading into the Rams’ second preseason game, Sean McVay revealed that John Wolford would start against the Texans – a somewhat surprising development after Bryce Perkins handled every snap in the opener against the Chargers. Perkins would be handed the reins in the second half against Houston, giving the two quarterbacks an even split of playing time.
McVay made it seem like this was simply a chance for Wolford to gain experience after not playing at all last preseason, but perhaps this decision was more about the backup quarterback situation and a competition between Wolford and Perkins. The Rams haven’t definitively committed to Wolford as QB2 and it’s not as if they’re paying him like one, so Perkins might be more than just a third-stringer.
