The Los Angeles Rams are off to London in Week 8 to take on the winless Cincinnati Bengals, and the intermediate injury report doesn’t look much better than yesterday’s initial report:
2019 Los Angeles Rams Week 8 injury report
Name | POS | Injury | Wed. Status | Thu. Status | Fri. Status | Game Status |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Name | POS | Injury | Wed. Status | Thu. Status | Fri. Status | Game Status |
Andrew Whitworth | T | Not Injury Related | DNP | Full | Full | - |
Troy Hill | CB | Hamstring | DNP | DNP | Limited | Questionable |
Malcolm Brown | RB | Ankle | DNP | DNP | DNP | Out |
Bryce Hager | LB | Shoulder | DNP | DNP | DNP | Out |
Clay Matthews | LB | Jaw | DNP | DNP | DNP | Out |
The Rams are heading out to London for tomorrow’s practice, but Rams Head Coach offered some clarity on both RB Malcolm Brown and CB Troy Hill:
(On CB Troy Hill appearing on the injury report and if he expects Hill to play Sunday)
“Yeah, we do. We want to be smart with him. Anytime that you’ve got those DBs with those soft tissue muscles, you want to be smart about it. He’s making really good progress. He’s had some soreness, but we expect him to be ready to go.”
(On if RB Malcolm Brown will be out for the game on Sunday)
“Malcolm Brown is going to be out, so he’ll be out for the game. He’s making progress on that ankle, but not good enough to where he’s going to be able to do the things necessary to play that running back position. We’ll go into it with the same three that we had last week and feel good about that group.”
So that’s a go for Hill and a no for Brown.
We’ll see if Hill’s situation prompts support on the snap counts from CB Darious Williams or 2019 NFL Draft third-round rookie CB David Long, Jr., who was inactive for the Rams’ first six games.

Here’s what they had to say over at Cincy Jungle, the SB Nation community for Bengals fans:
The Bengals have one more practice tomorrow in London before they play the Rams on Sunday, but we were given a clear idea about who will be out for the game.
After Thursday’s practice concluded, Zac Taylor announced A.J. Green (ankle) and Cordy Glenn (concussion) will not play this week. Both players were limited today and worked with the scout team, per Geoff Hobson of Bengals.com.
The only changes from yesterday’s report involve Glenn going from a full to limited participant and Eifert practicing after he had a day off yesterday. Cornerbacks Darqueze Dennard (hamstring) and Dre Kirkpatrick (knee) did not practice again along with Carl Lawson (hamstring). Kirkpatrick and Lawson are not expected to play after missing last Sunday’s game and Taylor labeled Dennard as ‘doubtful’ after he made his debut on Sunday.
Carlos Dunlap (knee), John Miller (groin) and Andre Smith (ankle) were each limited once again and while Miller and Smith are very much in play for Sunday, Dunlap’s status is much more in question, per Hobson.
William Jackson III (shoulder) practiced in full for the second straight day so he should be good to return barring any setbacks tomorrow.
