Rams' Wednesday Injury Report for Week 18 vs. 49ers
The Los Angeles Rams enter the regular-season finale with just one notable injury: safety Nick Scott underwent thumb surgery following Sunday's game in Baltimore. Meanwhile, Rams coach Sean McVay said Monday that Scott still has a chance to play as he may suit up with a cast on.
Among the other Rams players noted on the injury report, all were listed as a result of receiving a rest day with the exception of running back Cam Akers. The second-year rusher, battling back from an Achilles injury, underwent a full workload in the Rams' walk-through practice and McVay described his involvement as “flying around” at another speed.
As for the 49ers, they're facing a significant amount of injuries. Most notably, quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo, who tore the UCL in his thumb, though he was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice. Garoppolo told San Francisco reporters Wednesday that he's in severe pain, insinuating that the Rams might see rookie Trey Lance on Sunday.
