Last night, NFL fans were treated to a gruesomely violent game between the Philadelphia Eagles and Green Bay Packers that saw half a dozen injuries that included two frightening incidents in which players were stretchered off the field.
I offer that as prelude for this week’s injury report for the Los Angeles Rams who are hosting the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 4, because the injury report is really pretty unbelievable:
2019 Los Angeles Rams Week 4 injury report
| Name | POS | Injury | Wed. Status | Thu. Status | Fri. Status | Game Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Name | POS | Injury | Wed. Status | Thu. Status | Fri. Status | Game Status |
| Austin Blythe | G | Ankle | Limited | Full | Full | - |
| Tyler Higbee | TE | Chest | Limited | Full | Full | - |
| Aqib Talib | CB | Not Injury Related | DNP | Full | Full | - |
| Michael Brockers | DL | Illness | - | DNP | Full | - |
| Andrew Whitworth | T | Not Injury Related | - | DNP | Full | - |
| Todd Gurley | RB | Not Injury Related | - | - | DNP | - |
I hope Rams fans recognize (and appreciate) how much of an impact this has and how incredible it is. And I mean that in the literal sense. It’s in-credible.
Just look at the Bucs’ side:

| Demar Dotson | T | Calf | - | - | Limited | Questionable |
| Devin White | ILB | Knee | DNP | DNP | DNP | Out |
| Jamel Dean | CB | Ankle | DNP | DNP | DNP | Out |
That’s three listed as questionable including rising star WR Chris Godwin and starting RT Demar Dotson . And rookie ILB Devin White remains out with his knee injury.
Since relocating to LA, the Rams have been exceptionally fortunate on the health front. That continues to be the case headed into Week 4.
Here’s hoping it extends throughout the regular season into the postseason...
