Rams TE Colby Parkinson is in concussion protocol but is expected to be available Sunday, McVay said. ILB Omar Speights (high ankle) is doubtful. TE Tyler Higbee (hip) and OL Rob Havenstein (ankle) will be monitored this week. OL Steve Avila will practice and could start.

Just realized Joe Noteboom filled in for Ravens LT Ronnie Stanley last week and could presumably do so again on Sunday if Stanley remains out.
He gave up 5 pressures but no sacks and had a pass-blocking grade of 18.7.

Rams NT Poona Ford currently ranks 4th in overall defensive grade (87.8) and 3rd in run defense grade (86.7) among all interior defensive linemen in the NFL (minimum 50% snaps played), according to @PFF. Ford also ranks T-7th in tackles causing unsuccessful plays for the offense (10) among all IDL through 5 games, according to TruMedia.

Sean McVay said Steve Avila has done a good job in practice this week and practiced and played the way he’s capable of, indicating Avila will step back in at LG this Sunday at Ravens.
“Expect Steve to be ready to roll and do his thing on Sunday.”
