Sean McVay said the Rams will get RB Kyren Williams back against the Cardinals.

Williams has been on IR with an ankle injury, but because of the bye it's been five weeks since he was hurt. Williams should be ready to go in a good matchup in Week 12. With Rivers still on IR, the backup duties will go to either Henderson or Freeman or a combination of both. It may not be fair to expect a huge workload from Williams his first week back in the fold, but he should at least have higher-end RB2 value vs. the Cardinals.

Rams receiver Cooper Kupp had to exit Sunday’s game due to injury, but it doesn’t sound like he’ll miss too much time — if any at all.

Per Ian Rapoport of NFL Media, Kupp is dealing with a low-ankle sprain and the club will evaluate him over the course of the week.

The story quoted HC Sean McVay: “He was going to try to come back and play,” McVay said in his postgame press conference. “He was moving around at the beginning of the second half and we were hoping that he’d be able to go, but it just didn’t quite feel good enough.” The Rams get the Cardinals in Week 12 and the hope is Kupp can return to the lineup.

Rams WR Cooper Kupp limped off the field with an apparent ankle injury. He has gone into the locker room.

Kupp had his ankle stepped on while blocking on a run play. Video surfaced of him being checked out by trainers. We'll get more word down the line, but for now, Kupp is out.

Rams QB Matthew Stafford will be a full participant in practice today, per coach Sean McVay.

Stafford will be an immediate boost to Puka Nacua and Cooper Kupp, even if he's not 100%. As for his own fantasy projection, Stafford can be considered a streamer in a difficult waiver wire week.

Sean McVay said he's expecting QB Matthew Stafford to play Sunday against the Seahawks.

Obviously a big upgrade for the Rams offense heading into Week 11. Brett Rypien didn't play well when we last saw the Rams in Week 9, forcing them to go out and sign Wentz as a more capable backup should Stafford not be able to go. The post added that McVay said Stafford was able to throw the ball during individual drills during practice Monday.

Carson Wentz is signing with the Los Angeles Rams, per source.

The Rams are optimistic Stafford will be able to play in Week 11, after the team's Week 10 bye, so this move seems to be more about insurance. Rypien threw for just 130 yards and added an interception in a loss to the Packers last week. Wentz should at least provide some stability at the position if Stafford has to miss more time. Wentz should be able to get up to speed during the team's bye this week.

Sean McVay said he expects RB Kyren Williams to return after Williams comes off of Injured Reserve.

It feels like Williams has been gone forever, but he'll have to sit out Week 11 for his fourth game after the team's bye this week. Williams is dealing with an ankle injury but it looks like he'll be ready to go when he's back for Week 12, a game at the Cardinals.

Sean McVay sounded optimistic about getting QB Matthew Stafford back post-bye.

The Rams have a bye in Week 10, so nothing is definitive yet. Rodrigue went on to say McVay was responding to a question about a backup QB, but McVay indicated that wasn't something the Rams would be forced to weigh because of “the direction they are headed,” meaning they were optimistic about Stafford.

Per Sarah, "I don’t see QB Matthew Stafford (thumb) or RT Rob Havenstein (calf) during the portion of practice open to the media."

Stafford is notorious for playing through injuries, but this one isn't trending in the right direction. If he misses Week 9, the entire offense takes a hit.
