Los Angeles Rams quarterback Jared Goff expressed his uncertainty over whether he will be able to play a regular-season finale after suffering a thumb injury on Sunday in a 20-9 loss to the Seattle Seahawks.

“I’m not sure,” Goff said when asked if he will be able to play next Sunday at home against the Arizona Cardinals. “We will see.”

Sources told ESPN’s Adam Schefter that the Rams fear Goff’s thumb will break and he will undergo further testing in Los Angeles on Monday.

“I was right [a] the helmet was there for some time in the third quarter and put it back in its place and just finished the game, ”Goff said.

Goff said his thumb didn’t bother him afterwards.

The Rams (9-6) have lost two straight games this season, but can secure a place in the playoffs with a win over the Cardinals (8-7) or a Green Bay Packers victory over the Chicago Bears (8- 7)) in week 17.
