Despite the coy comment from Sean McVay, the Rams game will be decided when Jared Goff is throwing the ball. Yes, I believe that chances are good the Goff can return after thumb surgery as the injury is away from the base. Afterall, he finished the Week 16 contest after the fracture/dislocation without even a splint or tape and he returned to limited practice today. There may be some rust and given that #1 receiver Cooper Kupp just came off the COVID list in time. Left tackle Andrew Whitworth should be back to protect Goff's blindside. Cam Akers will be good to go but no Darrell Henderson dealing with a high ankle sprain. On the other hand, the Seahawks pass defense is the question mark. The normally optimistic Pete Carroll was not so positive that star safety Jamal Adams will be active but we believe he will and the player agrees with me. By video, he may have a labral tear which the hard-hitting defender can play thru. The other issue is the injuries to cornerbacks #2, 3 and 4. In addition, defensive lineman Jarron Reed (LP) may have a tough time playing with his oblique muscle injury. Expect a close matchup with the Rams being slightly the healthier side.
