Aaron Donald's sprained ankle is Rams' next crushing injury
Even Aaron Donald is not immune to the injury bug that has consumed the Los Angeles Rams’ seasonNOVEMBER 29, 2022 • Associated Press
Aaron Donald - Could have high-ankle sprain Rams coach Sean McVay said that Donald is undergoing evaluation for a potential high-ankle sprain, Ian Rapaport of NFL Network reports.
Impact Donald picked up this potentially significant injury at some point during Sunday's 26-10 loss to the Chiefs, according to Jordan Rodrigue of The Athletic. While the severity of the issue has yet to be revealed, the 31-year-old likely would need to sit out 4-to-6 weeks if it's confirmed as a high-ankle sprain. Donald has tallied double-digit sacks in each of the last five seasons and has 27 tackles, including five sacks, over 11 games in 2022, so his potential absence would be a devastating loss for the now 3-8 Rams.

Aaron Donald - Dealing with injury Rams coach Sean McVay said that Donald picked up an ankle sprain during Sunday's 26-10 loss to the Chiefs and is undergoing further testing Monday, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic...
Impact Donald recorded three tackles while playing 79 percent of the Rams' defensive snaps versus Kansas City, though it's unclear when or how this injury first arose during the contest. McVay also emphasized that he did not have a definitive update on the defensive lineman's health, per Rodrigue, so the exact severity of this issue should come into focus following Monday's examinations. It also will be worth monitoring Donald's status on the Rams' first injury report of Week 12 this Wednesday.

Ernest Jones - Posts third game with 10-plus stops Jones recorded 11 tackles (six solo) and one quarterback hit during Sunday's 26-10 loss to the Chiefs.
Impact Jones sandwiched two big statistical games with 21 tackles (12 solo) between a rough outing against the Saints, where he notched just three solo tackles. The one area where Jones has yet to break through on the season is in the sack column, and he'll get his next chance to notch his first sack of the season against Geno Smith and the Seahawks in Week 13.

Taylor Rapp - Logs season high in tackles Rapp recorded 12 tackles (seven solo) in Sunday's 26-10 loss to the Chiefs.
Impact Rapp didn't miss a snap on defense, and he stuffed the stat box with a team-high 12 tackles. The Rams as a defense bent but didn't break against the mighty Chiefs offense, which had to settle for just a pair of touchdowns and four field goals. Rapp's previous season high for tackles was eight in Week 9, and he'll look to follow up on his solid statistical production against Seattle in a Week 13 showdown with another high-octane offense.

Matt Gay - Just one field goal in loss Gay connected on a 47-yard field goal and converted his only extra-point try in Sunday's 26-10 loss to the Chiefs.
Impact With Matthew Stafford (neck) and Allen Robinson (foot) joining Cooper Kupp (ankle) on the sidelines, the rest of the Rams' anemic offense did little in helping Gay get into a position to produce. Despite booting a lengthy 47-yard field goal in the first quarter, Gay wouldn't be called into action again until punching in an extra point in the fourth quarter. In Gay's five games since the bye, the accurate kicker has only punched in six field goals and eight extra points. With the entire Rams' offense in disarray between injuries and subpar play, it'll be difficult for fantasy managers to trust Gay as their kicker for the remainder of the season.
