Quentin Lake (hip), Kevin Dotson (foot) and Cobie Durant (toe) will be listed as questionable on the injury report, but McVay said he expects them to be able to play..Stu Jackson@StuJRamsRob Havenstein is expected to play Sunday, per Sean McVay. Additionally, Warren McClendon will likely go at LTSo with Havenstein and Dotson expected to play, Rams will at least have 3 of their original five starters on their offensive line back in Week 2. Slated to have 4 of the 5 when Alaric Jackson returns from suspension next weekznModeratorthe Los Angeles receiving core, despite the loss of Puka, looks great and produced. Everyone knew from last season that Robinson was a solid WR3, but former Buccaneers WR Tyler Johnson came out of now where for a big game against Detroit. New TE addition Colby Parkinson also made some clutch catches filling in for Tyler Higbee, and proved he could be trusted for an expanded role as well.

More: Kyle Shanahan told reporters that his team now is considering putting Christian McCaffrey on IR.znModeratorRams Bros.@RamsBrother
some fun facts about Sunday’s game vs. the #Birdgang1. Kyler was the only QB in Week 1 to complete ZERO vertical pass attempts (0-7)
2. Cardinals D generated EDGE pressure at extremely low rate (3.5%, good sign for OT’s) and deployed Cover 0/Cover 1 (mostly man coverage) on 30% of snaps — Stafford ate man coverage alive in 2H of Lions game
3. Rams are a top-3 pre-snap motion/shift team and the Cardinals were the worst team at defending plays involving pre-snap motion/shifts last season
znModeratorJourdan Rodrigue@JourdanRodrigueSean McVay says Rob Havenstein is expected to play Sunday. Warren McClendon would move to LT..RG Kevin Dotson (foot/ankle) is also expected to play Sunday, per Sean McVay.…Ian Rapoport@RapSheet#Rams standout G Steve Avila underwent surgery to repair his MCL, per coach Sean McVay. He’s looking at being back on the field in November, ready for the stretch run. McVay said the plan was to accelerate his recovery.znModeratorBased on those season records, it looks like the Rams are the better team.
Yeah that copied weird.
It’s supposed to read like this:
Rams, 0-1, 0-1 away
Cards 0-1, 0-o home
as in
Rams, 0-1 (record), 0-1 away (road record)
Cards, 0-1 (record), 0-0 home (home record)
znModeratorThe OL situation will settle down soon enough, assuming there’s no more injuries. Really it’s just Avila. Jackson and Hav will both be back at the tackle spots presumably after this game and with Hav, he might be back for this game. Then it’s just Limmer for Avila which while not ideal isn’t bad. They couldn’t run the ball against the Lions so when the OL is intact again, that’s what we’ll be looking for, the running game.

If I told you the RAMS went toe to toe with DET while having 4/5 starters out on the O- line & a whopping 35 pass block grade what would you say……Ramsoholic@ShayTweetedThat

Are the guys signed to the PS safe for at least this week or could another team potentially sign them to their active roster?Cameron DaSilva@camdasilva
Rams protected Nsekhe and Witherspoon on their practice squad so they can’t be poached this week. Anyone else on the PS can be, though.znModeratorAccording to NFL’s Next Gen Stats, [Tyler] Johnson’s 63-yard catch ended up being their “most incredible YAC” play of Week 1, eclipsing an 80-yard touchdown by Tyreek Hill that “only” had 36 yards after catch above expectation.

– Cut Taylor + Blake Larson from PSznModeratormore along the lines of what zooey posted just before this post.

EDGE Jared Verse
The Rams rookie first round pick looked the part against the Lions. There is reason to believe that he will be an impact presence on the edge throughout the season. Verse had six pressures with a 26.1 percent pressure rate. It’s the fourth highest pressure rate in Week 1 by a rookie since 2018.
Verse needs to do better containing the edge, but that will come with time and experience. The most important thing is that the defense has a player that it can rely on to get to the quarterback when needed.

– Signed OL Geron Christian Sr and Dylan McMahon to active roster
– Signed CB Ahkello Witherspoon to the practice squad with a veteran designationznModeratorJourdan Rodrigue@JourdanRodrigue
– OL Steve Avila and Joe Noteboom + WR Puka Nacua to injured reserve (minimum four games)Kevin Dotson (foot) will be held out of practice today but Sean McVay said they are going to be careful with the starting RG with the expectation he will make it to the game. Cobie Durant (toe) won’t practice. Rob Havenstein (ankle) and Christian Rozeboom (n/a) will be limited.
Jonah Jackson is the only player among the Rams’ starting offensive line (as determined heading into training camp) who is practicing.Gary Klein@LATimesklein
Puka Nacua, Steve Avila and Joe Noteboom are eligible to come off IR after week 5 game against Packers and will have benefit of bye week. But McVay said they each have unique injuries that could keep them out longer.znModeratorHoldenCantor@HoldenCantorRams are bringing back Ahkello WitherspoonznModeratorroberto clemente@rclemente2121the 1st & 10 perfectly executed 20-yard laser to kupp, down 13-17, 5:35 left in regulation, the rams had 8 guys in pass pro and 2 guys running patterns against 5 in coverage.keep everyone home to pass block to help the tackles out, except for 2 wr that 5 lions in coverage couldn’t defend…..znModeratorBrian Baldinger@BaldyNFL@RamsNFL everyone gets smarter at football when you watch them play.

Needing more help on the offensive line following a knee injury suffered by Steve Avila in Week 1, the Los Angeles Rams went to the Philadelphia Eagles practice squad for reinforcements, signing rookie center Dylan McMahon on Tuesday. The Eagles drafted McMahon with the 190th pick in the sixth round out of North Carolina State this year but he was one of Philadelphia’s “surprise cuts” after a “strong summer” according to Victor Williams of “The Philly Pod”
McMahon is a good athlete and Eric Galko noted that he had “a great career, great Shrine Bowl, great NFL combine” after playing both guard positions and center in college. The Eagles needed another center after Jason Kelce retired but right now they don’t have anyone officially backing up starter Cam Jurgens. Presumably Landon Dickerson might move over if the Eagles needed a center and they didn’t protect McMahon if a team like the Rams wanted to poach him off of the practice squad.
znModeratorHe had a short stint with the Rams in St Louis before bouncing around the league including another stop with the Rams in LA
He was with them and starting in 2022 too.
