Rams' Injury List is Ridiculously Long, and It's Only Week 1

Key Players Ruled Out

The Los Angeles Rams are already dealing with a laundry list of injuries, and it's only the first week of the season.

Quarterback Matthew Stafford (elbow), wide receiver Cooper Kupp (ankle), and defensive tackle Aaron Donald (knee) are all out for Sunday's game against the Buffalo Bills.

Stafford is dealing with an elbow injury that he suffered in the Rams' preseason finale. Kupp is nursing an ankle injury that he suffered in the Rams' season-opening win over the Cincinnati Bengals. Donald is out with a knee injury that he suffered in practice this week.

Other Injuries

In addition to those three key players, the Rams are also dealing with injuries to several other players, including:

• Running back Cam Akers (ankle)
• Wide receiver Van Jefferson (knee)
• Tight end Tyler Higbee (knee)
• Offensive tackle Joseph Noteboom (knee)
• Defensive end Justin Hollins (knee)
• Linebacker Travin Howard (knee)
• Cornerback David Long Jr. (groin)

Outlook

The Rams are already thin at several positions, and these injuries are only going to make things worse.

The Rams will need to find a way to overcome these injuries if they want to compete for a Super Bowl this season.

The Rams are scheduled to face the Bills on Sunday at SoFi Stadium.
