Rams vs. Cardinals injury report: Only one concern for LA in Week 17

The Rams only have one player questionable compared to four for the Cardinals, with three players already ruled out by Arizona

The Los Angeles Rams started the week with no players listed on their injury report Tuesday but they’re now in danger of being without their starting right tackle. Rob Havenstein injured his shoulder on Wednesday and was forced to miss practice Thursday, raising concerns about his availability for this weekend’s game against the Arizona Cardinals.

As worrisome as Havenstein’s injury is, the good news is he’s the only Rams player who’s even questionable to play on Saturday. Everyone else is good to go.

Here are the final injury reports for both the Rams and Cardinals heading into the second-to-last game of the season.

Cardinals injury report

Rob Havenstein injury update

Havenstein is questionable to play because of a shoulder injury, which popped up in practice on Wednesday. Joe Noteboom will start in his place if he can’t play, but the Rams remain hopefully Havenstein will be available against the Cardinals.

James Conner injury update

Conner suffered a knee injury in Week 16 against the Panthers and was limited all week in practice. He’s officially questionable to play, as is backup running back Trey Benson. It’s possible the Cardinals will be down to their third-string running back, Michael Carter II.

Rams injury report: RT Rob Havenstein added Wednesday

After no players on the injury report to start the week for the Rams, a starter popped up on Wednesday. Check out the details.

The Los Angeles Rams had practice Wednesday after Tuesday’s walkthrough in which no injuries were reported.

However, there was one that emerged Wednesday and it’s starting right tackle Rob Havenstein who is listed with a shoulder injury. It’s possible the injury occurred in practice, which would have curtailed his reps.

The full details of their Wednesday injury report are below.

Limited participation

  • RT Rob Havenstein (shoulder)

We’ll know more on Thursday, but the Rams list Warren McClendon Jr. as the backup to Havenstein. He was a fifth-round pick in 2023. Seven-year veteran Joe Notebook is considered the backup left tackle, so he would possibly get the nod on the right side if Havenstein can’t play.

Rams vs. Cardinals injury report: Latest updates, news for Week 17

The Rams didn’t list a single player on their injury report, which is almost unheard of for Week 17

The regular season is winding down and the Los Angeles Rams are making their final push for the postseason. With just two weeks to go, the Rams are in position to potentially clinch the NFC West as early as Week 17 when they host the Arizona Cardinals.

The Rams were incredibly banged up in their first meeting with the Cardinals back in Week 2, but they’re much healthier now. In fact, it’s hard to imagine them being in much better shape health-wise than they are at this point in the year.

Here’s a look at the first injury report of Week 17 as they prepare to face Arizona on Saturday night, which is as clean as you’ll ever see.

It’s not a mistake. There just isn’t a single player listed.

The Rams have absolutely no injury concerns heading into Saturday’s game, which is remarkable. Not even Tyler Higbee nor Cobie Durant is listed on the injury report.

As long as no one gets banged up in practice, the Rams will have everyone available against Arizona.

Rams vs. Jets injury report: LA fully healthy, NY star questionable

All the latest updates and news on the Rams’ injury report ahead of Sunday’s game against the Jets

Health-wise, the Los Angeles Rams are in much different shape now than they were at the beginning of the season. For most teams, they’re dealing with more injuries this late in the year after being healthy early on, but it’s the opposite for the Rams.

In Week 16, they have no serious injury concerns to speak of. The only player to miss practice on Wednesday or Thursday was Tyler Higbee, and that was only due to an illness. Everyone else has practiced in some capacity, leading to an extremely short injury report.

Tyler Higbee injury update

Higbee was held out of practice on Thursday due to a stomach bug but Sean McVay said he’s over it now and is officially off the injury report. He’s expected to make his season debut on Sunday.

Cobie Durant injury update

Durant missed Week 15 with a chest injury and was limited to start the week on Wednesday but he was a full participant Thursday and Friday.

Quinnen Williams injury update

Williams is expected to be a game-time decision on Sunday after missing practice this week with a hamstring injury. He injured his hamstring last week against the Jaguars and is questionable to take the field this weekend.

Raiders, Rams Week 7 injury update: 2 key starters return to practice

Raiders, Rams Week 7 injury update: 2 key starters return to practice

A couple Raiders starters returned to practice Thursday for the Raiders. But four starters were still missing.

The two starters who returned were LT Kolton Miller and CB Jack Jones. The four still missing are DE Maxx Crosby (ankle), WR Jakobi Meyers (ankle), G Dylan Parham (foot), and DT John Jenkins (illness).

The ones to worry about are WR Jakobi Meyers and G Dylan Parham.

Meyers missed last Sunday’s game and the Raiders couldn’t get the ball to the wide receivers who were healthy for the game. And with Davante Adams now with the Jets, the Raiders were without both their outside starters to begin the season.

Parham left midway through the game on Sunday and was replaced by Jordan Meredith.

Raiders, Rams Week 7 injury report: 6 Raiders starters miss practice

Another week for the Raiders with several starters missing.

Preparations for the Raiders week seven game in Los Angeles against the Rams have begun. This time without Davante Adams on the roster. But Adams wasn’t the only starter not practicing for the Raiders Wednesday. They were without six starters Wednesday.

The only player missing for the Rams was long snapper Alex Ward (illness).

Rams injury report: Rob Havenstein questionable, Cobie Durant will play vs. Lions

Cobie Durant is good to go for Sunday but Rob Havenstein’s status is still TBD

Injuries have been a major story for the Los Angeles Rams this summer and it’s continued into the regular season. There have been question marks about a few players entering Week 1 against the Detroit Lions, with Cobie Durant and Rob Havenstein being the biggest.

On Friday, Sean McVay provided updates on both players, as well as Puka Nacua and Jonah Jackson. He said Nacua, Jackson and Durant will all be full participants in the final practice of the week, while Havenstein will be limited for the third day in a row.

Nacua, Jackson and Durant are all expected to play on Sunday against the Lions, which is great news for the Rams. There was never much concern with Nacua or Jackson but Durant’s status was a bit up in the air, which was particularly worrisome with Darious Williams landing on IR.

Havenstein still isn’t certain to play on Sunday but the Rams haven’t yet ruled him out. If he does miss the game, Warren McClendon Jr. will start at right tackle.

Havenstein is officially listed as questionable, but everyone else is good to go for Sunday.

For the Lions, they have three players on the injury report heading into Sunday. Backup safety Loren Strickland has been ruled out with a thumb injury, while fellow safety Ifeatu Melifonwu is doubtful to play with an ankle injury.

Defensive tackle D.J. Reader is questionable due to a quad injury.

Rams injury report: Havenstein, Durant still limited Thursday

Rob Havenstein and Cobie Durant remained limited on Thursday, putting their status for Week 1 in question

It’s only Week 1 but the Los Angeles Rams are already dealing with a handful of injury concerns. Though Puka Nacua is good to go for Week 1, he was still one of five players listed on the first injury report of the year – a list that included Darious Williams, who has since been placed on injured reserve.

Rob Havenstein and Cobie Durant remain the two biggest situations to monitor approaching Sunday night’s game against the Lions as both were limited Wednesday. On Thursday, both players remained limited, bringing into question their statuses for Sunday’s game against the Lions.

On the Lions’s side, their injury report remained unchanged.

Rams injury report: Rob Havenstein, 2 others limited Wednesday

The Rams and Lions each released their first injury reports of the season ahead of their Week 1 tilt

With the start of the regular season comes the first injury reports of 2024. The Los Angeles Rams got in an extra day of practice on Monday but they weren’t required to submit an injury report after that session.

They did after Wednesday’s practice and there are a few notable injuries heading into the first game of the season. Jonah Jackson was a full participant, as was Puka Nacua, but Rob Havenstein, Darious Williams and Cobie Durant were all limited.

Havenstein is dealing with a lingering ankle injury, and both Williams and Durant are recovering from hamstring strains. Sean McVay didn’t sound concerned about either cornerback missing the season opener, though.

As for Havenstein’s status, McVay said before practice that “we’ll see how today’s practice goes” when asked about his starting right tackle’s available for Week 1.

The Lions didn’t practice today so their injury report is an estimation, but it’s a short one, nonetheless. Detroit only listed three players on the report, two of whom were limited: Ifeatu Melifonwu and D.J. Reader. Backup safety Loren Strickland was the only player listed as a non-participant.
