Ogbonnia Okoronkwo not expected to return this week vs. Seahawks

Sean McVay doesn’t think Okoronkwo will play on Sunday against the Seahawks.

The Los Angeles Rams already designated Jordan Fuller to return from injured reserve this week, but it seems he’ll be the only one returning from IR for Sunday’s game against the Seahawks. Ogbonnia Okoronkwo is also on IR but it sounds like he won’t be activated this week.

Sean McVay said Monday that while Fuller is expected to play against Seattle, he doesn’t think Okoronkwo will.

“Yeah, I think he’s making good progress,” McVay told reporters. “Not something that I do anticipate him being able to play this week, talking about Obo.”

Okoronkwo has been out since injuring his elbow in Week 5 against Washington. The injury required surgery, which gave him a timetable to return of 4-6 weeks, according to McVay.

It doesn’t seem like Okoronkwo is behind schedule, he’s just not ready to return this week to play against the Seahawks. Samson Ebukam, Justin Hollins and Terrell Lewis will continue to hold down the outside linebacker spot opposite Leonard Floyd.
