Another week, another long injury report for the Rams. Week 6 will prevent some challenges for Los Angeles, not that the last four weeks haven’t already.
On Friday’s final injury report, the Rams listed five players as being questionable to play against the Panthers on Sunday. Among those players are Aaron Donald, Cooper Kupp and Tyler Higbee.
Kupp and Donald both have foot injuries and both of them have said they expect to play. Higbee is as tough as they come, but he’s battling an ankle issue. Like Donald and Kupp, Sean McVay said Friday that he expects Higbee to play.
Brian Allen has already been ruled out again with a knee injury, and Cam Akers also won’t play for personal reasons, which popped up on Thursday.
Cobie Durant and John Wolford are also questionable, but Taylor Rapp and David Long Jr. are set to return on Sunday.
For the Panthers, three cornerbacks are questionable: Jaycee Horn, C.J. Henderson and Donte Jackson. Laviska Shenault Jr. has already been ruled out, and though Baker Mayfield is doubtful, he won’t play and the Panthers are starting P.J. Walker at QB.
