Injury: Right high ankle sprain
Game Status: Questionable
Impact: LP on Wednesday puts him on track to return this week. His injury in mid-September is likely to linger through the middle of October. He will likely have a SIC score in the low-to-mid 70s for at least the next two weeks.
Week 5 opponent: Miami Dolphins
Injury: Hamstring strain
Game Status: Will play
Impact: The last thing Kupp and the Rams want is another setback with the hamstring strain that landed him on IR. Expect him to miss Week 5 but have a chance to be back on limited snaps in Week 6.
Week 5 opponent: Philadelphia Eagles
Injury: Abdomen (likely groin)
Game Status: Doubtful
Impact: Not much is known about Amon-Ra’s abdomen issue that caused him to miss practice on Wednesday. Our staff will review game film and monitor practice reports this week to assess how effective he can be if he plays.
Week 5 opponent: Carolina Panthers

Injury: Fractured rib
Game Status: Questionable
Impact: LP on Friday gives him a chance to play this week against the Cardinals. He could opt for a rib block injection to numb the pain associated with the fracture. It remains to be seen if he will do that, but if he misses time it will likely just be 1 game.
Week 5 opponent: Arizona Cardinals
Injury: ankle surgery recovery
Game Status: Questionable
Impact: Taylor has a better chance than Cooper Kupp this week but don’t be surprised to see him miss this week as he gets up to speed in a new offense. If Taylor isn’t back this week, he should make his debut in Week 6.
Week 5 opponent: Tennessee Titans
Injury: Hamstring
Game Status: Questionable
Impact: Popped up with a hamstring issue at practice on Friday, putting his effectiveness in serious doubt. If he plays, will cede even more snaps to David Montgomery.
Week 5 opponent: Carolina Panthers
Injury: Quad injury
Game Status: Will play
Impact: DNP, LP, LP ahead of W5 - will play through quad injury but unlikely to be effective - still recovering from multi-ligament knee injury that prematurely ended last season - rookie RB Jaleel McLaughlin likely to get more touches.
Week 5 opponent: New York Jets
Injury: Thigh
Game Status: Questionable
Impact: LP all week with thigh issue but likely a thigh contusion that shouldn't affect his play much - listed as questionable but will play through.
Week 5 opponent: Arizona Cardinals
Injury: Right shoulder AC joint sprain
Impact: Will play through shoulder injury likely with pain-numbing injections which should allow him to be effective - by video, suffered a right shoulder AC joint on an incompletion early in the 2nd quarter of Week 4 - returned to the game.
Week 5 opponent: Arizona Cardinals
