Rams and 49ers Rest Key Players Ahead of Playoff

Carson Wentz to Start for Rams, Puka Nacua Eyes Rookie Records

Los Angeles Rams will rest several key players, including starting quarterback Matthew Stafford, in their regular-season finale against the San Francisco 49ers, with Carson Wentz set to start.
San Francisco 49ers, who have clinched the No. 1 seed in the NFC, will also rest key players, including starting quarterback Brock Purdy and running back Christian McCaffrey.
Rams' rookie receiver Puka Nacua is four receptions and 29 yards away from setting the NFL rookie-season records in both categories.
Rams' decision to rest players is influenced by their secured playoff spot, with their seeding only slightly affected by the outcome of the game.
Carson Wentz's start for the Rams will be his first in over a year, and his first for the Rams since signing with them in November.
