WOODLAND HILLS, Calif. – Rams offensive lineman Kevin Dotson carries no game status designation for Sunday night's divisional round playoff game against the Bears at Soldier Field (3:30 p.m. PT, NBC/Peacock), making him good to go for the contest.

Speaking to reporters Friday morning before practice, head coach Sean McVay said Dotson will start.

"It means a lot (to have him back)," McVay said. "And I think what's great is, like we've talked about, Justin Dedich has done an amazing job. I think there's been a lot of guys that, when they've been asked to step up, they've delivered. And been really proud of the depth of the group that we have, and then to be able to get a physical player, his energy, his swag, his presence is excellent for us. And so do feel a lot of confidence in Justin, but the expectation and the anticipation is Kevin's going to be ready to go and start."

Tight end Terrance Ferguson, cornerback Josh Wallace and wide receiver Jordan Whittington also carry no game status designation, clearing the way for them to play Sunday.

Additionally, McVay expects quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo (back) and defensive end Desjuan Johnson (illness) to play even though both are listed questionable.

For the Bears, defensive back Nick McCloud (groin) has been ruled out, while wide receiver Rome Odunze (foot) and linebacker Jalen Reeves-Maybin (back) are listed as questionable.

Below are the injury reports for both teams.
