Backup Jimmy Garoppolo finally gets on the field when the Rams play the Seahawks, and who will be watching to see what the quarterback can provide in future?

After several years as the long time starter with the San Francisco 49ers, Garoppolo has been relegated to the bench for the last two seasons. After being benched and released by the Las Vegas Raiders, “Jimmy G” found his way to the Rams, where he became Matt Stafford’s backup.

LOS ANGELES — With the NFC West title already in hand, the Rams (10-6) will turn to backup quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo to start in the regular season finale against the Seattle Seahawks (9-7), head coach Sean McVay announced on Wednesday.

With the NFC West title already clinched, the Rams will start Jimmy Garoppolo at quarterback against the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday.

Jimmy Garoppolo will take his first snaps for the Rams when he starts in place of Matthew Stafford in playoff-bound Los Angeles’ regular-season finale against Seattle.

Garoppolo signed a one-year deal with the Rams this past offseason after serving as the primary starter in San Francisco from 2019-22 — making a Super Bowl in 2020 — before a rough year in Las Vegas last season. Numerous injuries have set back his career.

Jimmy Garoppolo hasn't played a single snap during the 2024 season while backing up Matthew Stafford, but it sounds like that will change on Sunday when the Los Angeles Rams plan to rest some of the starters vs. the Seattle Seahawks.

Coach Sean McVay announced the decision Wednesday to rest Stafford, the 16-year veteran starter. The Rams haven't decided which additional starters will rest.
