Los Angeles Rams enter their final regular-season matchup with a lengthy injury report as they prepare to host the Arizona Cardinals at SoFi Stadium on Sunday, January 4.
With a playoff spot already secured, the 11-5 Rams are managing health carefully, but several key contributors remain either unavailable or uncertain ahead of kickoff.
Los Angeles Rams dealing with multiple confirmed absences
Los Angeles will be without a few notable players on Sunday. Cornerback Josh Wallace has been ruled out due to an ankle injury after failing to participate in practice.
Safety Quentin Lake is also listed as out despite full participation in practice, while offensive lineman Kevin Dotson will miss the game after not practicing all week with an ankle issue.
These absences impact both sides of the ball, particularly in the secondary and along the offensive line, where depth could be tested against Arizona’s defensive front.
Tight end situation: Ferguson doubtful, Higbee questionable
The tight end position remains a major point of concern for Los Angeles Rams. Terrance Ferguson is listed as doubtful with a hamstring injury and is not expected to play.
Tyler Higbee, meanwhile, carries a questionable designation due to an ankle issue but was a full participant in practice, leaving the door open for his return.
Higbee’s availability would be significant for Rams’ offense, particularly in the red zone and on third downs, where his experience and chemistry are valuable.
Key offensive contributors to monitor
Running back Kyren Williams is questionable with an ankle injury after limited practice participation. Williams has been a focal point of Los Angeles Rams’ offense in 2025, recording 1,192 rushing yards and 10 touchdowns on 247 carries.
Fellow running back Blake Corum is also questionable with an ankle injury, having logged limited practices throughout the week.
Wide receiver Davante Adams is another player to watch closely. He is listed as questionable with a hamstring injury after limited practice sessions. Adams has been a major scoring threat this season, finding the end zone 14 times on 60 receptions.
Defensive depth and rest-related listings
Linebacker Omar Speights is questionable with an ankle injury after limited practice work, while offensive lineman AJ Jackson is also questionable due to a knee issue.
On defense, outside linebacker Byron Young appears on the report for rest purposes after not practicing, a move that suggests precaution rather than concern given his productive season.
Several players are trending positively. Xavier Smith, Jaylen McCollough, and Braden Fiske all practiced fully despite being listed with injuries earlier in the week, signaling strong availability for Sunday.
