Jimmy Garoppolo questionable for Sunday's game vs. Bears

Our Summary

The Los Angeles Rams have listed backup quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo as questionable for their upcoming divisional round game against the Chicago Bears. Garoppolo was added to the injury report on Thursday due to a back issue and did not participate in practice on Friday. He has seen limited action this season, appearing in three games without attempting a pass. If Garoppolo is unable to play, Stetson Bennett will serve as the backup to starting quarterback Matthew Stafford.

Additionally, defensive end Desjuan Johnson is questionable after missing Friday's practice due to illness. In contrast, offensive guard Kevin Dotson is set to return after recovering from an ankle injury sustained in a previous game against the Seahawks, having completed a full practice session on Friday.
