The Los Angeles Rams’ final injury report of the week is not long. Two players were ruled out of their game against the Arizona Cardinals and two are questionable.
There is no surprise about those who will sit out. Quarterback Jared Goff had thumb surgery and was ruled out early. Linebacker Micah Kiser (knee) did not practice all week.
Running back Cam Akers (ankle) did practice for the first time all week on Friday. He got limited reps and is officially questionable. This is also no surprise.
Outside linebacker Leonard Floyd is a new addition to the injury report. He did not practice on Friday and is questionable with an abdomen injury. However, it is believed he should play.
A team spokesperson told Jordan Rodrigue that Floyd had abdominal pain and was checked out at a hospital.
Per a Rams spokesman, OLB Leonard Floyd was experiencing some abdominal pain this morning before practice, and was sent to be checked out at a local hospital out of extra precaution. He is “questionable” for Sunday but team believes he will be fine and likely to play.

If Floyd is unable to play, that would mean another defensive starter out in addition to defensive tackle Michael Brockers, who landed on the COVID list this week.
