The Los Angeles Rams have gotten healthy at just the right time, finally getting some good news on the injury front after a frustrating start to the season. They were missing one starter on Saturday night against the Arizona Cardinals as Rob Havenstein was out with a shoulder injury, but he was the only player on the injury report all week.
Coming out of the 13-9 win, the Rams don’t appear to have suffered any setbacks health-wise. Sean McVay told reporters on Sunday morning that the team came out clean other than Kamren Kinchens getting a stinger. He’s expected to be OK moving forward, though.
Sean McVay said that while it could change as players come in today, Rams came out Cardinals game fairly clean injury-wise based on his postgame check-in with VP of Sports Medicine & Performance Reggie Scott last night
Kam Kinchens got a stinger but should be OK

As for Havenstein, he was close to playing against the Cardinals and McVay is optimistic about his chances of suiting up in Week 18 – if necessary.
Rams RT Rob Havenstein was “close” to being able to play yesterday, Sean McVay says. Calls the shoulder injury he suffered in practice a “freak thing” but sounded optimistic about his potential availability going forward.

There’s a chance the Rams will get to rest their starters in Week 18 if they lock up the NFC West on Sunday with the help of three other teams. If not, they still have a great chance of winning the division next week, simply doing so with a win over the Seahawks.
Regardless, the team is in great shape as the playoffs approach, which sets the Rams up for a potential run in the postseason next month.
