Following their final practice of the week, the Los Angeles Rams released their last injury report before Saturday’s playoff game against the Carolina Panthers. Kevin Dotson has already been ruled out, but he’s not the only injury concern on Los Angeles’ radar.
Jordan Whittington is also out despite Sean McVay saying before practice that he’d be questionable. Whittington injured his knee in Week 18 against the Cardinals and was unable to return to the game. Two other players are also questionable to play this weekend: Terrance Ferguson and Josh Wallace. Ferguson missed the finale with a hamstring injury and Wallace has been out since getting hurt in Week 16.
McVay said at the start of the week that he expects Ferguson to play Saturday, and it’s encouraging that he was able to practice on Thursday after sitting out the first two days entirely.
Davante Adams and Quentin Lake are both good to go, as is Tyler Higbee, who returned from IR last week against the Cardinals. Braden Fiske is off the injury report, too. Everyone besides Dotson, Whittington and Byron Young (rest) practiced on Thursday, with only Ferguson and Wallace limited.
Rams-Panthers injury report
Everyone was available to practice for the Panthers the last two days but they still listed Rob Hunt and Chandler Zavala as questionable. Both players were full participants in practice all week.
