The Los Angeles Rams’ injury issues haven’t just been on offense and defense. They’ve now bled into the special teams unit.
Sean McVay said Friday before practice that kicker Joshua Karty is one of three players listed as questionable for Sunday’s game against the 49ers. Karty will try to practice today after sitting out the first two days of work, and that will determine whether he’s able to play on Sunday.
If not, it’ll be Tanner Brown kicking for the Rams this weekend. He was recently signed to the practice squad as a precaution with Karty battling a groin injury.
Additionally, Cobie Durant and Bobby Brown III are both considered questionable, per McVay. Cooper Kupp has been ruled out, as expected, and Davis Allen is also out for the second straight week with a back injury.
The good news is Kevin Dotson appears to be off the injury report and good to go despite a lingering foot injury.
McVay said they'll see how Karty gets through today's practice. If he can't make it, Tanner Brown (recently signed to practice squad) would be up https://t.co/ltowxpc1MY
