The Los Angeles Rams went on a run late in the 2023 season to secure a spot in the NFL Playoffs, despite changing around the
majority of the roster in the summer.
In Week 18, the Rams defeated the San Francisco 49ers to end a 12-game losing run during the regular season and secure the No. 6
seed in the NFC playoffs. During Wild Card weekend, Los Angeles will travel to play the Detroit Lions in a primetime showdown.
with intriguing stories.
Although they rested their most important veterans, the squad will go into the playoff game largely healthy. However, safety Jordan
Fuller left the game against the 49ers in the first quarter due to an ankle injury.
Yes, the same thing. They are going to be daily. Of Fuller and linebacker Troy Reeder, McVay stated, “They won’t be able to practice.”
“We’ll have a walkthrough on Wednesday, so we’ll essentially just check how they’re doing. With Jordan, it was an ankle, and with
Troy, it was a hyperextended knee. We’ll keep trying to see how we can use the time we have. I hope they will be accessible. If not, we
will make appropriate backup preparations. Then, it appears that Joe Noteboom (OL) is progressing well with his heel. In terms of
On Wednesday, those are the only players who, based on projections, would likely be out right now.
Fuller has struggled with a number of ailments recently, including an ankle injury, so it wouldn’t be shocking if he missed this
weekend’s game against Detroit. Russ Yeast filled in for him and produced several excellent tackles against the 49ers.
If Fuller is eventually unable to play, Yeast is expected to start, but the Rams are undoubtedly hopeful that their captain of the
secondary, Will Hurley, will be able to practice throughout the week. Even if Yeast is showing that he can fill in, Fuller would be a
wonderful addition given the Lions’ offensive style and arsenal.
McVay talked about what the Rams would be losing if Fuller couldn’t play.
“A guy with great range in his playing and a communicator.” He has, in my opinion, made a number of smart moves when it matters
most, but he has been a captain for a purpose. Coaches and players hold him in the highest regard, and he plays with a toughness that
comes naturally to him. Therefore, it would be significant for us, but we hope we won’t need to proceed on that path just yet.
Sam LaPorta, a rookie tight end, may be out for Detroit after sustaining a knee injury during their victory over the Minnesota Vikings.
LaPorta has a chance to play, according to Lions head coach Dan Campbell, but considering the nature of his injury, it appears
probable he won’t.
Raheem Morris, the head coach candidate for the Rams, is interviewing.
Morris, who has established himself as one of the league’s top coordinators in recent years, is apparently getting another chance at
head coaching after the commanders asked to interview him for their open post. Morris appears to be a desirable commodity.
