The Los Angeles Rams have a quick turnaround this week as they’ll face the Minnesota Vikings on Thursday Night Football just four days after beating the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday. As a result, the team didn’t hold a regular practice on Monday, but it did have a walkthrough in preparation for the 5-1 Vikings.
The first injury report is just an estimation of each player’s participation level if the Rams were to have practiced regularly, so it’s not a direct reflection of how much they actually participated. The Rams listed six players on the initial report, four of whom wouldn’t have practiced – including Jordan Whittington and Braden Fiske.
Cooper Kupp would’ve been a full-go after being limited in practice all of last week and Joe Noteboom would’ve been limited; Sean McVay said Monday that there’s a chance Noteboom will return from IR this week.
Below is the full injury report from both teams.

Vikings injury report
Cooper Kupp injury update
Kupp was listed as a full participant, though McVay said Monday that the Rams will see whether or not he’ll have a full workload in the game on Thursday night. He hasn’t played since Week 2 due to an ankle injury.
Jordan Whittington injury update
Whittington only played nine snaps on Sunday and after being limited last week, he was listed as a non-participant to start this week – not necessarily a good sign for the rookie.
Joe Noteboom injury update
Noteboom remains on IR with an ankle injury, though he was designated to return last week. He could be activated and play this week against the Vikings, though.
Braden Fiske injury update
Fiske came out of Sunday’s win with some back soreness and McVay said the Rams will monitor him throughout the week to see how it affects his availability for Thursday.
