The Los Angeles Rams could be without starting left guard Steve Avila for the second week in a row, but this time defensive end Braden Fiske might also miss a game due to injury. Avila and Fiske both didn’t practice on Wednesday, four days before the Rams play a huge Week 3 contest against the Philadelphia Eagles and the roster that had the best trenches on both sides of the ball last season.
If ever there was a time to be fully-loaded at offensive and defensive line, playing against the Eagles is it.
Avila missed Week 2 and was replaced in the lineup by Justin Dedich, same as when Avila left the middle of Week 1’s win over the Houston Texans. Braden Fiske was injured in pre-game warmups last Sunday. He played in the game but was limited to 13 snaps.
On the other side of the field, the Eagles had Jalen Carter return to practice on Wednesday and it looks like they’re spittin’ for him to start on Sunday. The Eagles also expect tight end Dallas Goedert to return after missing Week 2.
Which Rams player has a more important role against the Eagles in Week 3? Steve Avila against the Eagles defensive line or Fiske against Philly’s offensive line? Who has better depth to take care of their absence? Let us know what you think in the comments.
