Dan Campbell said Jared Goff is doubtful to play Sunday in Seattle.
Campbell talked about Goff and his desire to be on the field:
"He’s frustrated. He wants to go. But he also knows — he’ll know when he’s ready. We’ll know when he’s ready. But yeah, he was trending the right way, and then when these things pop up, shoot, man, you want to get back out there. So, he is frustrated."
The former top pick of the 2016 NFL Draft suffered an oblique injury before the Lions' Week 10 matchup versus the Pittsburgh Steelers at Heinz Field. Goff played for the duration of that game with the injury.
The Lions and Steelers game ended in a 16-16 tie. However, Goff was absent under center in the Lions’ Week 11 contest against the Cleveland Browns. They went on to lose at Cleveland 13-10.
Goff has started 13 games this season and has a 2-10-1 record as the starting quarterback. The two-time Pro Bowl quarterback has thrown for 3,007 yards with 17 touchdown passes and eight interceptions.
Here I am at the New Years party praising Jared Goff. Who would have thought this day would come?
He has a completion percentage of 67 percent, which is good for 11th in the NFL among starting quarterbacks.
His 17 touchdown passes would be the fewest he has thrown in a season in his six years in the league. In his final year with the Los Angeles Rams, Goff threw for 20 touchdowns and 13 interceptions. With two games left in the 2021 season, will Goff start another game?
