The NFL calendar is littered with attrition.
Each week threatens to take out starters by the knee, by the ankle, by the head. Already, the Rams have lost CB E.J. Gaines, G Rodger Saffold and OLB Alec Ogletree to IR.
And while the Rams aren't facing any new injuries of that magnitude, there are obvious concerns as they head north to face the Minnesota Vikings this week:
Name | POS | Injury | Wed. Status |
Chris Long | DE | Knee | DNP |
Robert Quinn | DE | Knee | DNP |
William Hayes | DE | Thigh | DNP |
Chase Reynolds | RB | Thigh | DNP |
Rob Havenstein | T | Ankle | DNP |
Tre Mason | RB | Ankle | Limited |
T.J. McDonald | S | Foot | Limited |
Now most of those names were on the last week's injury report going into the Week 8 game against San Francisco. And with all of them active on Sunday save for Chris Long, this is likely just precautionary.
Still...to see three defensive ends out at the top of the report is not fun. And I know fun. (fun is a band, look it up)
As for the Vikes:
Name | POS | Injury | Wed. Status |
Anthony Barr | LB | Low Back | DNP |
Joe Berger | C | Chest | DNP |
Eric Kendricks | LB | Ribs | DNP |
Sharrif Floyd | DT | Knee/Ankle | DNP |
Stefon Diggs | WR | Hamstring | DNP |
Justin Trattou | DE | Foot | Limited |
Everson Griffen | DE | Neck | Limited |
Tom Johnson | DT | Knee | Limited |
Audie Cole | LB | Finger | Limited |
Rhett Ellison | TE | Concussion | Full |
T.J. Clemmings | T | Neck | Full |
Speaking of not fun, 11 names is likely not the length Minnesota fans wanted to see today especially with Barr, Kendricks, Floyd and Diggs all sitting out.
Hypothetical injury report coming tomorrow.
