    Injuries are a problem if they either take out a key player or mess with a unit.

    The OL: 2 injuries so far. Saffold and Hav.

    On paper anyway that’s not enough to demolish the OL. It could still function like that.

    I would have been fine with Donnal starting at RT.

    Quinn, McDonald, Havenstein all inactive

    MINNEAPOLIS _ The Rams’ depth will be sorely tested against Minnesota. Pro Bowl defensive end Robert Quinn (knee), starting strong safety T.J. McDonald (foot), and starting right tackle Rob Havenstein (ankle) all were placed on the Rams’ pre-game inactive list Sunday.

    None of the three practiced Friday, the Rams’ final full-scale practice of the week. Havenstein’s absence has resulted in further offensive line shuffling for the Rams. Veteran Garrett Reynolds, who has been starting at left guard since Rodger Saffold’s season-ending shoulder injury at Green Bay, will start at right tackle according to the team.

    He’s no stranger to the position having started there four times last season as a Detroit Lion. Meanwhile, rookie Andrew Donnal comes off the bench to start at left guard. The Rams like Donnal’s toughness, selecting him in the fourth round of the 2015 draft out of Iowa. He has appeared in only three games this season, all on special teams and a total of just 15 plays.

    On the defensive line, Eugene Sims is expected to start in place of Quinn, who has been bothered by a knee issues for the past three weeks. Sims has been with the Rams since 2010 and is one of the team’s longest-tenured players, but this is only his fourth NFL start.

    At strong safety, Eureka High product Maurice Alexander is expected to start in place of McDonald.

    The other Rams inactives are RB/special teamer Chase Reynolds (thigh), DE Chris Long (knee), QB Sean Mannion, and DT Doug Worthington.

    With the personnel shortages at defensive end, undrafted rookie Matt Longacre of Northwest Missouri State _ promoted from the practice squad Friday _ is on the game-day roster.

    Minnesota inactives are QB Taylor Heinicke, LB Eric Kendricks, C Nick Easton, DT Sharrif Floyd, OT Jeremiah Sirles, TE Chase Ford, and DE Justin Trattou.

    Wow.

    No Quinn, Long on the DLine
    No TJ in the secondary,
    No Ogletree in the LB unit,
    and no
    Hav or Saffold on the OLine.

    I’ll have to change my prediction.
    Gonna have to favor the Vikes now.

    Vikes 24
    Rams 13

    I see a very sloppy, error-filled
    frustrating game, looming.

    A no-pie day.

    Well, not having Quinn, McDonald and Havenstein is going to be tough to overcome. Sucks.

    Foles wasn’t exactly “Mr. Comfortable” in the pocket before. What’s he going to look like now with their best o-lineman out?

    Everyone is talking about the wind today. Will the wind be a big factor?
