While the NFL is a win-at-all-costs league, teams often pay a premium when the injury report comes out on Wednesday. The Rams know this truth all too well as their early season struggles directly correlated with the loss of several superstar players. But oftentimes, championship teams are not those that go without injury but are instead those who get healthy at the right time.
The Rams, who could wrap up the NFC West by Week 17, are getting healthy at the perfect time. During Monday’s press conference, Sean McVay was happy to report that the team suffered no major injuries in their win at the Jets.
“I think we’re good,” he said. “We will have our typical bumps and bruises, but it seemed like everybody came out pretty clean. I don’t expect that to affect anybody’s status moving forward, which is a blessing.”
Not only will the Rams be a full go when they play Arizona this week but Tyler Higbee’s return may be the catalyst for another Super Bowl run. Higbee scored a touchdown in his season debut on Sunday.
The Rams are the current favorites to win the NFC West. The last time they won the division, their season ended in victory in Super Bowl LVI. Things seem to be lining up for Los Angeles once again.
