After just one day off on Tuesday, the Los Angeles Rams returned to work Wednesday as they prepare to take on the Philadelphia Eagles this weekend. They’re back home in Woodland Hills following a trip to Arizona for the wild-card round of the playoffs and though they didn’t practice Wednesday, they still released their initial injury report of the week.
Only four players were listed on the report, so there aren’t many concerns on the Rams’ side. Tyler Higbee’s status will be monitored after he left Monday’s win with a chest injury, while Ahkello Witherspoon is also banged up following his late exit from the game, too.
Alaric Jackson is dealing with a chest injury despite playing the entire game on Monday and would’ve missed the first practice of the week. Bobby Brown III is the other player listed and he was estimated as a non-participant due to a shoulder issue.
The Eagles look healthy heading into Sunday’s game, with all five players who missed practice simply getting a rest day; A.J. Brown does have a knee injury but it doesn’t seem like a concern.

Tyler Higbee injury update
Sean McVay told reporters Tuesday that Higbee expects to play despite going to the hospital Monday after he was spitting up blood at the game. He was estimated as limited Wednesday, which is a good sign.
Ahkello Witherspoon injury update
McVay didn’t speak with the media Wednesday so we haven’t gotten a full update on Witherspoon’s status, but after the cornerback was estimated as a non-participant, he’ll be someone to watch on Thursday and Friday.
He suffered a thigh injury late in the game against Minnesota and did not return.
Alaric Jackson injury update
Jackson is dealing with a chest injury that would’ve sidelined him from practice Wednesday. McVay hasn’t said anything about his injury so the severity is unclear.
Bobby Brown III injury update
Brown was limited to only 13 snaps on Monday night and is dealing with a shoulder injury that may have played a role in his reduced workload.
