Los Angeles Rams interim head coach John Fassel provided a candid timeline for Jared Goff's recovery, after the rookie quarterback was placed in the concussion protocol following Thursday's loss to the Seattle Seahawks.

Goff left the game after taking a massive hit from Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman.

Fassel said the Rams will make a decision on his playing status during the middle of next week.

"Our schedule for the week is the players will be off Saturday and Sunday," Fassel said, according to Pro Football Talk's Mike Florio. "There will be treatments Saturday and Sunday morning. Then when we come back Monday, we're going to treat it like our normal week Tuesday. So, he'll get three more days to get treated and become assessed, and we'll probably make a decision from there where he's at, how much he'll be able to do in practice. By then, we'll probably have a better idea of how close he'll be to playing in the game."

The Rams will have time to ponder their decision before their next game on Dec. 24 against the San Francisco 49ers.
