The Los Angeles Rams’ injury concerns were at a minimum this week heading into their matchup against the Arizona Cardinals, despite Cooper Kupp giving everyone a scare with a sprained ankle suffered last week. Kupp is good to go after recovering quickly, as is Puka Nacua, who’s dealing with a shoulder injury.
The only player ruled out on Friday was Quentin Lake, while Ben Skowronek was the only player listed as questionable due to a hip injury. Skowronek is active and will play against Arizona, however.
Oddly, Tyler Higbee is inactive despite not being listed on the injury report at any time this week. Brycen Hopkins is also inactive, and he was not on the injury report, either. It appears both are shockingly healthy scratches. With Higbee and Hopkins out, rookie Davis Allen could be in for a bigger workload, as well as Hunter Long.
Correction: Higbee is not inactive.
CORRECTION: Rams TE Tyler Higbee is ACTIVE today, per Rams spokesperson. There was a mistake in reporting the inactives. Instead, DE Earnest Brown (#90, not Higbee's #89) is inactive.
