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.

Jordan Whittington injury update

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.

Those starters included DE Maxx Crosby (ankle), WR Jakobi Meyers (ankle), T Kolton Miller (knee/shoulder), G Dylan Parham (foot), DT John Jenkins (illness), and CB Jack Jones (illness).

Maxx Crosby has been resting Wednesdays for a few weeks now and has played the past couple weeks. Same with Kolton Miller.

Meyers missed last Sunday’s game with his injury and the team struggled to replace him in the lineup. Dylan Parham left Sunday’s game with his foot injury and was replaced at right guard by Jordan Meredith.

Other Raiders players not practicing were linebackers Kana’i Mauga (knee) and Tommy Eichenberg (quad).

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.

Rams-Lions injury report: Jordan Fuller, Tyler Higbee and 4 others questionable vs. Lions

Jordan Fuller and Tyler Higbee will be among the Rams’ players listed as questionable for Sunday night’s game

The Los Angeles Rams will have six players listed as questionable for Sunday’s playoff game against the Detroit Lions, including Jordan Fuller and Tyler Higbee.

Sean McVay told reporters Friday that Fuller is missing his third straight day of practice as he nurses an ankle injury suffered in Week 18. McVay said Fuller is making good progress but he will be a game-time decision on Sunday night.

Higbee and Kevin Dotson will be questionable, as well, but McVay expects them to be able to play. They both have shoulder injuries, and Higbee was forced to miss the finale against the 49ers, but they should be good to go for the wild-card game.

Joe Noteboom (foot) and Troy Reeder (knee) will be listed as questionable for the game, too. Both are backups but provide important depth on each side of the ball.

McVay noted that Bobby Brown was out sick on Friday and he’ll be questionable to play Sunday. It’s assumed he’ll suit up and be able to go, though.

The Lions released their full injury report for the game, which lists Sam LaPorta as questionable to play. Jerry Jacobs and Kalif Raymond were both ruled out, too.

Rams injury report: Jordan Fuller DNP, Tyler Higbee limited Wednesday

Jordan Fuller missed the first practice of the week as he recovers from an ankle injury, but Tyler Higbee was limited

The Los Angeles Rams are monitoring a few injuries leading up to Sunday’s playoff game against the Detroit Lions, including Jordan Fuller and Tyler Higbee. Fuller injured his ankle in Sunday’s win over the 49ers, while Higbee is nursing a shoulder injury that kept him out of that game.

To start the week, the Rams held three players out of practice Wednesday due to injury: Higbee, Joe Noteboom, Fuller and Troy Reeder. Rob Havenstein got a veteran’s rest day, and both Kevin Dotson and Higbee were limited. Dotson is dealing with a shoulder injury like Higbee but the fact that he was at least limited is a good sign heading into Sunday’s game.

For the Lions, two big names to watch are Sam LaPorta and Frank Ragnow. Both missed practice Wednesday, though Dan Campbell did say LaPorta is making progress and has a chance to play this weekend.

Kalif Raymond, the Lions’ speedy receiver and return man, missed practice, as well.

Rams injury report: Michael Hoecht questionable but expected to play

Michael Hoecht is the only Rams player listed as questionable for Sunday’s game against the Browns.

The Los Angeles Rams came out of their Week 9 bye as healthy as they’ve been all season, and they got even healthier when Kyren Williams returned from injured reserve. Heading into Week 13 with the Cleveland Browns coming to town, the Rams have almost no real injury concerns to speak of.

Quentin Lake has already been ruled out by the only other player with an injury designation is Michael Hoecht, who is listed as questionable.

“He’s making good progress, so we do expect him to be able to play,” Sean McVay said on Friday.

Matthew Stafford wasn’t on the injury report at all this week as he continues to recover from his thumb sprain, and Cooper Kupp was a full participant all week, so despite not being 100%, he will certainly play again this week despite his ankle injury.

The Rams and Browns released their full injury reports later on Friday after practice, and Cleveland’s is long but only four players carry injury designations.

Denzel Ward is out, as are Marquise Goodwin and Dorian Thompson-Robinson. Backup center Nick Harris is also questionable.

Myles Garrett and Amari Cooper will both play, which is a big boost for Cleveland.

Rams injury report: Ernest Jones held out Wednesday with knee swelling

Ernest Jones isn’t practicing Wednesday due to swelling in his knee, while four others are also behind held out to begin the week

There were quite a few players who got banged up in Sunday’s game between the Rams and Eagles, which is reflected on the injury report to start the week Wednesday. Sean McVay told reporters before practice that five players will be held out of practice due to injury, a group headlined by Ernest Jones.

McVay said Jones has some swelling in his knee so they’re holding him out of practice, but the coach thinks “he’ll be OK” and doesn’t expect it to affect his game status for Sunday’s contest against the Cardinals.

Additionally, Joe Noteboom (groin), Larrell Murchison (knee), Christian Rozeboom (thigh) and Kevin Dotson (ankle) are also going to miss practice to start the week. Ben Skowronek will be limited with some soreness in his Achilles, which is a lingering injury.

The biggest concern is obviously Jones, who’s the leader of the defense and one of the most important players on that side of the ball. He’s coming off a busy game where he had 15 tackles against the Eagles, and they’ll need him again against the run-heavy Cardinals.

The full injury report can be seen below.
