In Week 13, the Los Angeles Rams are on the road to Phoenix to play the Arizona Cardinals.
With today’s final injury report, the concerns heading into Sunday revolve almost exclusively around the running back position:
2017 LA Rams Week 13 Injury Report

| Josh Reynolds | WR | Ankle | DNP | Full | Full | |
| John Sullivan | C | Not Injury Related | DNP | Limited | Full | |
| Kayvon Webster | CB | Ankle | DNP | Limited | Full | |

| Mark Barron | LB | Not Injury Related | DNP | DNP | Full | |
| Tyler Higbee | TE | Illness | DNP | DNP | Full | |
| Lance Dunbar | RB | Knee | Limited | Full | Full | Questionable |
| Malcolm Brown | RB | Knee | Limited | Limited | Full | Questionable |
| Connor Barwin | OLB | Arm | DNP | DNP | DNP | Out |
| Robert Woods | WR | Shoulder | DNP | DNP | DNP | Out |
We learned yesterday that OLB Connor Barwin would be replaced in the starting lineup by rookie OLB Samson Ebukam and that WR Robert Woods will potentially be available in Week 14 against the Philadelphia Eagles though “a more realistic target would be” Week 15 against the Seattle Seahawks.
So the real news today is that both RB Malcolm Brown and RB Lance Dunbar will be Sunday decisions as being listed Questionable. Brown is recuperating from an injured MCL while Dunbar himself is coming back from a minor knee injury that held him out last weekend. Should neither be available, the Rams will turn again to UDFA rookie RB Justin Davis. That might be the wise choice if for nothing else to let Brown and Dunbar heal up another week.
Here’s Arizona’s side:

Our friends over at Revenge of the Birds, the SBN community for fans of the Cardinals, seemed not overly concerned about the Thursday report but we’ll see if they post about their side today.
Inactives should drop about an hour prior to kickoff.
