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.

Rams injury report: Cooper Kupp returns, Kyren Williams and others DNP

The Rams’ first injury report of Week 5 included names such as Cooper Kupp, Alaric Jackson and Kyren Williams

You never want to see a star player on the injury report, but for the Los Angeles Rams, seeing Cooper Kupp’s name listed to start Week 5 was actually a good sign. Kupp was officially designated to return from IR this week and he was a limited participant in his first practice Wednesday.

While he was technically listed as limited, Sean McVay said he was going to go through a normal day of practice, suggesting he wouldn’t be limited at all.

Alaric Jackson and Joe Noteboom were unfortunately listed as non-participants as they recover from their injuries. Kyren Williams was also held out of practice, though Sean McVay said he expects him to play Sunday against the Eagles.

Desjuan Johnson and Christian Rozeboom were non-participants, so their statuses will be worth monitoring as the week progresses.

As for other limited participants, Ochaun Mathis and Ben Skowronek didn’t go through a full practice; Mathis is returning from IR and Skowronek got a little banged up in Week 4 against the Colts.

The good news is that Matthew Stafford was a full participant as he recovers from his hip injury. He should be fine for Sunday’s game.

Rams Week 1 injury report: Kupp, Bennett and Long ruled out vs. Seahawks

Check out the Rams’ first injury report of the 2023 season

The Los Angeles Rams are picking up right where they left off last season, and not in a good way. After an injury-plagued 2022 campaign, the Rams are already dealing with several injuries at the start of this season.

They released their first injury report of the season Wednesday, listing three players as non-participants: Cooper Kupp, Stetson Bennett and Hunter Long. Kupp is dealing with a hamstring injury, Stetson Bennett’s shoulder is bothering him and Long has a thigh issue that he’s been recovering from.

Sean McVay said before practice that all three players have already been ruled out for Sunday’s game against the Seahawks. The Rams don’t have to officially submit game statuses until Friday but none of the three players will suit up this weekend.

See the full injury report below, which includes the Seahawks’ side, as well.

It looks like Jaxon Smith-Njigba will play against the Rams, and Devon Witherspoon was said to be unlikely to play last week but he was at least limited, so that gives him a shot to play. Jamal Adams has already been ruled out by Pete Carroll.

Rams dealing with O-line, secondary injuries in Week 3

It appears the Rams will have two backups starting on the offensive line and their No. 2 CB was just placed on IR.

The Arizona Cardinals have had to deal with injury issues in the secondary and on the offensive line early this season. They are coming out of that and now their Week 3 opponent, the Los Angeles Rams, are facing injuries on their offensive line and secondary.

No. 2 cornerback Troy Hill was just placed on injured reserve. He will not play.

David Long, normally the Rams’ No. 3 and slot cornerback, started the week limited in practice. Rookie Cobie Durant did not practice Wednesday.

On the offensive line, starting center Brian Allen missed the Rams’ Week 2 game and missed practice Wednesday. If he can’t start, Coleman Shelton will start. Shelton was the Rams’ starting right guard in Week 1.

Tremayne Anchrum, who started at right guard Sunday, played only two snaps before breaking his ankle. His season is over.

They already are having to adjust to an offensive line without left tackle Andrew Whitworth, who retired after last season. Joe Noteboom starts now but has dealt with a knee injury as well.

Oday Aboushi, signed from the practice squad to the active roster this week, could end up starting at right guard this week.

With their depth challenged up front and in the secondary, the Cardinals have an opportunity to take advantage of a Rams squad that is not at full strength.

Rams injury report: Joe Noteboom, Van Jefferson among 5 starters listed

The Rams listed 5 players on their initial injury report, all of whom are starters

The Los Angeles Rams are gearing up to face the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday afternoon, seeking to avoid their second straight loss to start the year. Their injury report is already much longer than last week’s, listing a total of five players on the initial report Wednesday.

Among them is Joe Noteboom, who Sean McVay said on Friday is expected to be ready for Week 2 after injuring his knee in the loss to the Bills. Matt Orzech, who is also expected to play, was held out with a calf injury.

Noteboom, Orzech, Brian Allen and Van Jefferson were all non-participants on Wednesday. McVay told reporters the Rams are taking it “a week at a time” with Jefferson, so it doesn’t sound like he’s quite ready to return.

Leonard Floyd was listed as a limited participant with a knee injury of his own. It’s unclear when his injury occurred, so his status will be worth monitoring.
