Rams-Cardinals Inactives: E.J. Gaines Returns, Spruce/Cooper Out

Here are the inactives for today’s divisional matchup in Arizona.

• WR Pharoh Cooper
• QB Sean Mannion
• CB Coty Sensabaugh
• OG Jamon Brown
• OL Pace Murphy
• WR Nelson Spruce
• DE William Hayes

Some good, some bad here. Cooper and Spruce remain inactive despite being upgraded late in the week. Jamon Brown and William Hayes transition to cheerleader status in Week 4 with injuries of their own.

Mannion will not dress again, meaning that Jared Goff remains the backup quarterback for another week. Gotta feel bad for this kid - he busts his ass and knows that he’s not getting a fair shake.

The biggest takeaway here is Sensabaugh being demoted to make room for E.J. Gaines instead of Troy Hill. You’d think the Rams would dress Sensabaugh considering they gave him a sizable contract, but that’s not the case. The former Titans CB looks to be headed towards the scrapheap of Jeff Fisher-Les Snead free agent signees.
