After weeks of waiting for two of the most important players on offense to return to the practice, the Los Angeles Rams expect to have the entire 53-man roster at their disposal against the Houston Texans on Sunday, including Matthew Stafford and A.J. Jackson. Head coach Sean McVay told reporters on Friday that everyone is available to face the Texans.
With injuries that tend to be as unpredictable as a 37-year-old NFL back or blood clots, who knows what the future will hold after Week 1. But the Rams couldn’t have asked for better news heading into their season opener.
On the other side of the field, the Texans will not have starting receiver Christian Kirk, who they acquired in a trade over the offseason. Another offseason acquisition, starting guard Ed Ingram, was limited in practice with an abdominal injury. Receiver/Returner Braxton Berrios has also been missing practices and could miss Sunday’s action.
The Rams have everybody ready to go for Sunday. Now they need to take advantage of these windows when they are open.
