As the Los Angeles Rams continue to prepare for Monday’s season opener in Santa Clara against the San Francisco 49ers, today’s practice injury report upgraded the two limited participants from yesterday while the three significantly injured Rams remain so:
Los Angeles Rams |
||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Name | POS | Injury | Thu. Status | Fri. Status |
| Bryce Hager | LB | Concussion | Limited | Full |
| Rob Havenstein | OT | Foot | Limited | Full |
| Pharoh Cooper | WR | Shoulder | DNP | DNP |
| E.J. Gaines | CB | Thigh | DNP | DNP |
| Nelson Spruce | WR | Knee | DNP | DNP |
Yay on the upgrades, but boo on the three who remain sidelined. Will any of them be ready for Week 1? And if not...when?
Meanwhile, the Niners upgraded two of their three DNP-listed players:
San Francisco 49ers |
||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Name | POS | Injury | Thu. Status | Fri. Status |
| Arik Armstead | DL | Shoulder | Limited | Limited |
| Nick Bellore | LB | Knee | Limited | Limited |
| Quinton Dial | DT | Knee | Limited | Limited |
| Glenn Dorsey | DL | Knee | DNP | Limited |
| Keith Reaser | CB | Ankle | DNP | Limited |
| Chris Davis | CB | Hamstring | DNP | |
I wouldn’t be surprised to see Chris Davis upgraded tomorrow. If not, so be it. I don’t think the Niners, or the Rams for that matter, have a future that hinges on his availability.
Nonetheless, the bottom line for this game headed into Week 1 revolves around the three Rams yet to hit the practice field.
For a young Rams team hoping not to replicate their 2015, missing out on three players who weren’t even a part of 2015 certainly won’t help.
