INJURY REPORT As the Los Angeles Rams prepare to host the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday, both teams released their first injury reports on Wednesday.
Here’s the full report: Rams • Did not participate – LB Ernest Jones (knee), DT Larrell Murchison (knee), RB Karen Williams (ankle), DB Derion Kendrick (personal) • Limited participant – WR Ben Skowronek (Achilles), NT Kobie Turner (shoulder), OL Joe Noteboom (groin) • Full Participant – OL Kevin Dotson (ankle) Steelers • Limited Participant – CB Patrick Peterson (rest), LB Nick Herbig (quad) • Full Participant – P Pressley Harvin III (hamstring) ) ) ), WR Diontae Johnson (hamstring), RB Anthony McFarland Jr. (knee), OL Dan Moore Jr. (knee), OL James Daniels (groin), TE Pat Freiermuth (thigh) October 18 RIVERS TO GO The Los Angeles Rams placed Ronnie Rivers on injured reserve Wednesday afternoon, meaning he will miss at least the next four games.
Rivers sprained his PCL during the team’s win against the Cardinals last week. Rookie Kyren Williams was also injured in the win against Arizona but will not be placed on IR. Rookie Zach Evans will likely start in place of Williams and Rivers. The Rams also added Royce Freeman to the active roster and signed both Darrell Henderson and Myles Gaskin.
October 16 TWO EVENTS GONE? The Los Angeles Rams suffered a pair of key injuries in Sunday’s win against the Arizona Cardinals as their two top defensive players – Kyren Williams and Ronnie Rivers – left the game with injuries.
Williams, who rushed for 158 yards against Arizona, suffered a late ankle injury and will undergo an MRI on Monday, according to reports. Rivers is also scheduled to have an MRI on Monday with a suspected ram PCL strain. If so, Rivers could miss several weeks. If both have to miss Sunday’s game against the Steelers, rookie Zach Evans could get the nod. October 15 NOTEBOOM OUT The Los Angeles Rams are without a better defense Joe Noteboom vs. Arizona Cardinals on Sunday afternoon, the team announced. Kevin Dotson will likely replace Noteboom in the lineup.
Good news for the Rams, but defensive end Ernest Jones is active and will start the game. Meanwhile, the Cardinals will be able to use the explosive Hollywood Brown on Sunday, as he was questionable on the Cardinals’ injury report on Friday.

October 13 FRIDAY UPDATE Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay said linebacker Ernest Jones (knee) and offensive lineman Joe Noteboom (groin) are out before Friday’s practice. Both are questionable for Sunday’s contest against the Arizona Cardinals. If Jones, who wears the green dot in Los Angeles, is unable to play in Week 6, veteran safety Jordan Fuller will take over the play-calling duties. He is the most experienced candidate for the role, but the Rams can look elsewhere if necessary.
