The Los Angeles Rams are preparing for a critical division matchup against the Arizona Cardinals while managing a roster depleted by several significant health concerns, according to reports from the team.
Heading into the Sunday contest, the organization has officially designated Myles Garrett, Trent McDuffie, and Kam Curl as questionable, as noted in the latest injury report.
Garrett did not participate in Friday practice sessions, though head coach Sean McVay indicated the team is simply “being smart” with the star player.
Despite the absence from practice, the coaching staff remains optimistic regarding his availability, with McVay stating that the player is “feeling good” following a successful outing last week.
Meanwhile, both McDuffie and Curl are expected to be limited during practice as the team monitors their progress, according to Rams Wire.
McDuffie has struggled with availability recently, having missed three of the previous four games, but the coach stated he is “optimistic” about a potential return to the field this weekend.
Curl, who faced a foot injury last week, managed to play through the pain against the Commanders, noted the team coverage.
In addition to those listed as questionable, the Rams have officially ruled out Terrance Ferguson and Steve Avila due to ongoing hamstring injuries, per the latest franchise updates.
Both players are anticipated to remain sidelined for multiple weeks as they undergo recovery protocols, the outlets reported.
The team is currently working to avoid a letdown in their upcoming divisional game, as reported by local sports analysts.
