LOS ANGELES — Los Angeles Rams right guard Kevin Dotson has been ruled out against the Atlanta Falcons on Monday night with his ankle injury, head coach Sean McVay said.
The Rams may further be shorthanded on their offensive line as left tackle Alaric Jackson will be listed as questionable with his knee injury. McVay said if Jackson cannot play, tackle D.J. Humphries will start in his place.
McVay said “it’s more likely than not” that Jackson and defensive end Braden Fiske (ankle) will be able to play in Atlanta but said, “it wouldn’t be something that would be crazy if they weren’t able to make it.”
Rams wide receiver Davante Adams, who aggravated a hamstring injury in Week 15, is doubtful to play against the Falcons. He has 14 receiving touchdowns this season, which leads the NFL.
