The Los Angeles Rams are making a few changes to their game-day roster for the start of the playoffs tonight. They announced their six inactives for their wild-card game against the Minnesota Vikings and there are two names that stand out: Tyler Johnson and Joe Noteboom.
Neither player is injured, meaning they’re both healthy scratches in this one. Johnson played 15 games in the regular season but was inactive in both Week 16 and 17 before playing with the backups in Week 18.
Noteboom is the more surprising inactive. He’s been the Rams’ swing tackle pretty much all season but it seems they like Warren McClendon Jr. better in that role.
The other inactives are Stetson Bennett, Emmanuel Forbes Jr., Brennan Jackson and Justin Dedich.

For the Vikings, there are no real surprises. Daniel Jones leads their list of inactives, followed by Levi Drake Rodriguez, Dan Feeney, Walter Rouse and Pat Jones II.
Cam Akers was questionable due to an illness but he’s officially active and will face his former team.
