"Tight end Tyler Higbee is on track to return on Sunday for the season finale against the Arizona Cardinals. Safety Quentin Lake will be back for the playoffs. Star receiver Davante Adams also could be held out till then. The Rams, coming off consecutive losses to the Seattle Seahawks and the Atlanta Falcons, might appear to be limping toward their seventh postseason appearance in nine seasons under coach Sean McVay."
""We're getting healthy at the right time," McVay said Friday. Lake agreed. "The league and the world kind of knew where we were at when we were at full strength," Lake said. "We're getting guys back at the right time and I feel like we're going to hit our stride at the right time." The Rams, who at one time were seeded No. 1 in the NFC, are currently seeded No. 6."
"If the San Francisco 49ers lose to the Seattle Seahawks on Saturday, and the Rams defeat the Cardinals on Sunday at SoFi Stadium, the Rams will climb to No. 5. Regardless, McVay reiterated Friday that starters would play against the Cardinals, though how much remains to be seen. Several starters are questionable because of injuries, including running backs Kyren Williams and Blake Corum because of ankle injuries and left tackle Alaric Jackson because of a knee injury."
Tyler Higbee is on track to return Sunday for the season finale against the Arizona Cardinals. Quentin Lake will be available for the playoffs while Davante Adams could be held out until then. The Rams have lost consecutive games to the Seahawks and Falcons but should approach the wild-card round near full strength. The team is currently seeded No. 6 and could move to No. 5 with a Cardinals win and a 49ers loss. Starters are expected to play Sunday, though playing time remains uncertain. Several starters are questionable with ankle and knee injuries, and right guard Kevin Dotson will not play.
