Rams Injury Woes Mount Before Bills Clash
9 Oct
Summary
- Several key Rams players are limited or did not practice.
- Aaron Donald is working back from retirement and a back issue.
- Tight end depth is thin due to Terrance Ferguson's IR placement.
The Los Angeles Rams are contending with a growing list of injured players as they prepare to face the Buffalo Bills on Monday night. Coach Sean McVay reported that cornerback Jaylen Watson, defensive end Aaron Donald, and tight end Colby Parkinson were limited in practice due to shoulder, back, and knee/shoulder issues, respectively.
Adding to the concerns, linebacker Grant Stuard, linebacker Josaiah Stewart, safety Quentin Lake, and linebacker Nate Landman also missed practice with various ailments including hamstring, groin, hip, and shoulder injuries. Wide receiver Davante Adams was given a veteran rest day.
The team's tight end situation is precarious, with starter Terrance Ferguson already on injured reserve for an ankle injury. This leaves Tyler Higbee, Davis Allen, and rookie Max Klare as the primary options.
Defensive end Aaron Donald's potential return is a significant storyline. He is working back to full strength after a two-year retirement and a recent back issue. His presence could bolster a pass rush that showed improvement in Week 4, potentially creating opportunities against Buffalo's potent offense led by quarterback Josh Allen.
