    Per McVay…

    John Wolford: Stinger, day to day
    David Edwards: Achilles tendinitis, day to day
    Aaron Donald: Rib, day to day and expected to play
    Cooper Kupp: Bursitis, day to day expected to play
    Whit: Expected to play
    Starting QB: Day to day

    Sean McVay: While Jared Goff’s thumb might not have been painful, it did affect him. You could see that in the game.

    Reiterating that QB decision is day to day. Goff said yesterday that his thumb is “fine”, no pain.

    I followed up on this point and McVay wanted to reiterate that there is a difference to him in “pain” versus “functionality”.

    Bursitis sucks! But manageable. McVay confirms what was suspected: Kupp hit the knee while blocking or something and then it started to swell up (as happens with this kind of thing to my knowledge). Drainage is an option, ice and rest, but this is a relatively good thing.

    Sean McVay declined specifics on Aaron Donald’s rib injury, but said he doesn’t expect it to affect his game status: “We’ll be smart with him throughout the week, but I do think that if there’s anything that he’s gonna do, he’s gonna do everything in his power to be ready to go.”

    Aaron Donald says “No pain. I feel healthy.”

    “My damn side is sore…that’s it, I’m good.”
    Yeah, he’s gonna play.

    Aaron Donald says he’s feeling no pain, and that he’s not gonna talk about his “damn side” (ribs) the whole news conference.

    from that (link’s in the tweet):

    Dr. Medhat Mikhael, the lead pain management specialist at MemorialCare Orange Coast medical center in Fountain Valley, Calif., spoke to The Athletic this week about how Donald and the Rams’ staff will have to manage torn rib cartilage, what protective measures and pain-management measures he can take leading up to and during the game, and what the potential risks are.

    “As you know, every bone in our body can be contused, which means the cartilage of the bone can be severely damaged or injured without fracture,” Mikhael said. “Or, you can get some contusion into the intercostal muscles, the muscles that connect the ribs together in the front and partly in the back. Any chest wall traumas can be very painful, (but) rib contusions and intercostal muscle contusions are a form of mild injury to the chest wall area.”

    …

    Donald is not at a higher risk for further injuring his ribs by playing on Saturday, Mikhael said, because there reportedly was no breakage.

    “It’s not going to be like a ‘weak rib’ that ends up getting fractured, no,” Mikhael said. “Because that rib has not weakened because it’s contused. However, the only risk is that he gets hit in the area and he’s back in pain, needing to recover from that area getting a little more contused, a little more inflamed. … As long as it has not been fractured, it’s not a ‘weakened’ area.”
    …

    Mikhael believed that Rams doctors would have “breathing assignments” for Donald throughout the week and at the time of the injury, which might include a device called a “spirometer,” a device that measures how much air a person can breathe in and out, by that person blowing into a tube attached to the device. Mikhael said that continuing to fully inflate the chest and lungs to capacity is important, because the lung recoil from even a contusion can lead to pneumonia if the person does not continue to breathe deeply through the pain.
