The Los Angeles Rams finished their final practice today for the wild card round of the playoffs against the Atlanta Falcons.
And while we’ve had a couple names of concern that Head Coach Sean McVay suggested should be good to go on Saturday, it’s the final injury report out today that helps confirm those hopes:
2017 LA Rams Wild Card Round Injury Report
Name | POS | Injury | Tue. Status | Wed. Status | Thu. Status | Game Status |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Name | POS | Injury | Tue. Status | Wed. Status | Thu. Status | Game Status |
Mark Barron | LB | Achilles | Limited | Limited | Full | |
Blake Countess | DB | Concussion | DNP | Limited | Full | |
Pharoh Cooper | WR | Shoulder | DNP | DNP | Full | |
Michael Thomas | WR | Ankle | DNP | DNP | DNP | Doubtful |
So it’s just WR Mike Thomas that will likely be unavailable. Good news otherwise.
And for Atlanta, it’s a similar wave of good news:

Not a single player received an injury game status designation.
Here’s what Dave Choate had to say about the report over at the Falcoholic, the SB Nation community for fans of the Falcons:
It’s all hands on deck, and you should expect the Falcons to make extensive use of Devonta Freeman and Julio Jones, who were both listed on the injury report earlier this week, as they try to get past a solid defense. Both will be particularly critical in reversing the team’s recent red zone woes—actually, that’s arguably a year-long issue—because they’re two of the most dynamic players the Falcons have.
The status of everyone on defense was never really in doubt, but they’re equally critical. This is the first time I can remember where the Falcons haven’t had a single soul listed as questionable on their injury report, and health genuinely matters this late in the year.
The seven-man inactive roster is a requirement in the playoffs just like regular season inactives. We’ll get that on Sunday prior to gametime.
