Rams defense determined to grow from last-minute letdown

The Rams were one snap away from a 3-0 start and another stellar defensive finish when a late-arriving flag in Buffalo changed the narrative

OCTOBER 2, 2020 • Associated Press

Likely sitting out Week 4 Head coach Sean McVay said Thursday that he doesn't expect Akers (rib) to play in the Rams' Week 4 game against the Giants, Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.com reports.

Impact McVay continues to label Akers as "day-to-day," but there isn't much evidence to suggest the running back is zeroing in on a return to game action after separating some rib cartilage in the Rams' Week 2 win in Philadelphia. According to Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic, Akers remained sidelined for Thursday's practice, so unless the rookie is able to take a major step forward with his activity in Friday's session, he could be ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Giants. The Rams appear set to proceed with Darrell Henderson and Malcolm Brown as their main options in the backfield in Week 4.

Won't practice, deemed day-to-day Coach Sean McVay said that Akers (ribs) won't practice Wednesday and is considered day-to-day, Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Akers has yet to resume practicing since suffering separated rib cartilage Week 2, which paved the way for Darrell Henderson to lead Los Angeles' backfield against the Bills this past weekend and break out with 20 carries for 114 rushing yards, plus a score. McVay's day-to-day label for Akers hints at optimism that the rookie second-round pick could return soon, perhaps even as early as Sunday's game against the Giants. Even if Akers gains clearance for the weekend, he still may have to settle for complementary work behind Henderson and Malcolm Brown.

Rams CB Jalen Ramsey will be missing Bills fans this week

To sit out Sunday The Rams ruled out Akers (ribs) for Sunday's game in Buffalo, J.B. Long of the Los Angeles Rams Radio Network reports.

Impact After failing to practice all week, Akers will miss the first game of his career due to separated rib cartilage. With the rookie second-rounder sidelined, L.A.'s backfield will be led by some combination of Malcolm Brown and Darrell Henderson. Brown himself is playing through a broken left pinky finger, so the breakdown of reps between the two could be more of an even split than would be expected under normal circumstances.

Misses practice Friday Akers (ribs) didn't practice Friday, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.

Impact Akers is trending toward a Week 3 absence, missing practice for a third straight day. Meanwhile, Malcolm Brown is expected to play with a broken left pinky finger, though it might limit his involvement in the offense, particularly as a receiving option. In any case, another update should be available when the Rams release their Friday injury report.

Officially doesn't practice Thursday Akers (ribs) was a non-participant at Thursday's practice, Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Akers was diagnosed with separated rib cartilage in the aftermath of this past Sunday's victory at Philadelphia. The fact he didn't play after taking the Rams' first three carries of the game should have been an indicator that the injury was serious, and coach Sean McVay confirmed as much Thursday when he said Akers "isn't coming along as quickly as anticipated," per Thiry. Elsewhere in the backfield, Malcolm Brown managed a full practice Thursday, despite a broken pinky finger, and Darrell Henderson is the sole healthy running back. Akers' status may receive some additional clarity Friday when the team releases its final Week 3 injury report.

Not in line to practice Thursday Akers (ribs) isn't slated to practice Thursday, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.

Impact Akers emerged from the Rams' Week 2 win at Philadelphia with separated rib cartilage, which is threatening to hold him out of the first two sessions of this week. Coach Sean McVay even told Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.com on Thursday that Akers "isn't coming along as quickly as anticipated" in his recovery. Akers still has chances to step on the practice field before week's end, but if he's absent or limited Sunday in Buffalo, the Rams will turn to some combination of Malcolm Brown (finger) and Darrell Henderson out of the backfield.

Won't practice Wednesday Akers (ribs) will be held out of practice Wednesday, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.

Impact After Sunday's win against the Jets, the Rams revealed Akers separated some rib cartilage, which didn't allow him to get on the field after taking the Rams' first three carries of the game. He's considered day-to-day, while veteran Malcolm Brown also won't practice Wednesday due to a broken left pinky finger.
