It’s Thursday, so you know what that means: hypothetical injury report time.
Remember that the Rams are off today, so the injury report is “an estimation of participation”.
Here’s today’s report:
Los Angeles Rams |
||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Name | POS | Injury | Wed. Status | Thu. Status |
| Benny Cunningham | RB | Hip | - | Limited |
| Michael Brockers | DT | Hip | Limited | DNP |
| Kenny Britt | WR | Thigh | DNP | DNP |
| Cody Davis | S | Groin | DNP | DNP |
| William Hayes | DE | Ankle | DNP | DNP |
| Robert Quinn | DE | Shoulder | DNP | DNP |
I love this so much.
So the Rams are estimating that Benny Cunningham would have gotten hurt had they practiced today. Does that mean he got hurt on Wednesday, the Rams’ second practice of the week? If so, does the Thursday report just correspond to Wednesday’s practice? If so, why even put out the “estimation” disclaimer? And does that also mean the Wednesday report is tied to Tuesday’s practice and not a summation of both practices?
Fisher gon Fisher.
In any case, this also helps clarify that Brockers got hurt in practice either Tuesday or Wednesday. His estimated absenteeism from today’s hypothetical practice would indicate as much as opposed to dealing with an injury from Sunday.
That none of the other Rams were upgraded isn’t something we can read much into given how hypothetical it is.
In any case, here’s Buffalo’s side:
