The Thursday injury report for the Los Angeles Rams was not the usual basket of news that make Rams confident about the health of their team. Besides LB Clay Matthews’ broken jaw that will sideline him for several weeks, we had reports that other key players may miss some time.
And now we have more definitive news about how these injuries will affect the Week 6 matchup with the San Francisco 49ers:
2019 Los Angeles Rams Week 6 injury report
| Name | POS | Injury | Wed. Status | Thu. Status | Fri. Status | Game Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Name | POS | Injury | Wed. Status | Thu. Status | Fri. Status | Game Status |
| Brandin Cooks | WR | Concussion | Limited | Limited | Full | - |
| Bryce Hager | LB | Shoulder | Limited | Limited | Full | - |
| Taylor Rapp | S | Ankle | Limited | Limited | Full | - |
| Natrez Patrick | LB | Hamstring | DNP | Limited | Full | - |
| Todd Gurley II | RB | Quadricep | DNP | DNP | DNP | Doubtful |
| Aqib Talib | CB | Ribs | DNP | DNP | DNP | Out |
| Clay Matthews | LB | Jaw | DNP | DNP | DNP | Out |
This means that CB Troy Hill will start in place of CB Aqib Talib. Hill has a lot of experience on the field, so he’s definitely not a rookie. He’s also not a proven shutdown corner like Talib. Granted, Talib had a rough game last week in Seattle, so this may not be too much of a downgrade with his replacement.
With the running game, it appears that RB Todd Gurley has a thigh bruise that will at the very least limit his touches on Sunday. That of course means RB Malcolm Brown will get some opportunities to run the ball and rookie RB Darrell Henderson might even get some chances. We heard a lot of hype about Hendo, but so far, the Memphis product has been in the shadows. Is he not impressing the coaching staff in practice? Is Hendo finally ready now?
For San Fran, they had a lengthy report of their own:
