Los Angeles Rams WR Cooper Kupp (knee) did not participate in practice Friday, Oct. 19, and has been ruled out for Week 7. DT Michael Brockers (shoulder), LB Matt Longacre (back), WR Josh Reynolds (hand), OG Rodger Saffold (knee), C John Sullivan (non-injury) and OT Andrew Whitworth (non-injury) fully participated in practice and are not on the injury report.
Footballguys view: Kupp is out and that means Josh Reynolds should get more playing time. After a down week in the snow and cold against the Broncos last week, we expect the Rams passing attack to get back on track. Reynolds could produce enough for a start as a 'what the heck' flex for Fantasy GMs. |

Footballguys view: Sam Ficken will handle the kicking duties for the Rams this week. Barron's absence could help Philip Rivers complete more passes in the middle of the field this week, but the Chargers don't have an obvious play at tight end. |

Los Angeles Rams DL Michael Brockers has a $125,000 bonus in his contract for getting 5.5 sacks this season, according to a source. He enters Week 17's game against the San Francisco 49ers with 4.5 sacks, meaning he needs one sack this afternoon to earn the bonus.

Los Angeles Rams DT Michael Brockers said he believes DT Aaron Donald deserves a new contract and will respect any decision Donald makes in terms of a possible holdout.
Footballguys view: Donald deserves to be among the highest paid defensive lineman in the game and it makes sense to want to lock that pay in now instead of risking the loss of the big payday if he suffers a serious injury. The Rams defense is switching to a 3-4 under Wade Phillips, so this is important time for Donald to missing if he has a protracted contract dispute. Stay tuned. |

The Los Angeles Rams have declared OT Jamon Brown, DL Michael Brockers, WR Nelson Spruce, OL Pace Murphy, WR Pharoh Cooper, QB Sean Mannion, CB Trumaine Johnson inactive for Week 7.

Brockers, Brown, Johnson and Spruce did not participate in practice Friday, Oct. 21. Hayes and Quinn fully participated in practice.
Footballguys view: Hayes and Quinn would be big in a game where the Rams are going to try to slow down Odell Beckham. The Rams defense has been defanged since Johnson and three-fourths of their starting defensive line went down. |

Footballguys view: None of Brockers, Hayes, or Quinn are sure things to go on Sunday, and if they do, they aren't sure things to be effective. Between that and the absence of Johnson, the Rams' best corner by a large margin, this matchup is looking pretty good for Matthew Stafford and the Lions passing game. |
