WOODLAND HILLS, Calif. – Although listed as questionable, Rams offensive lineman Alaric Jackson (foot) is expected to play Sunday against the Saints in New Orleans (1:05 p.m. PT, FOX), according to head coach Sean McVay.
McVay on Friday said Jackson "ended up getting his foot aggravated" in last Sunday's game against the Eagles, and "it just ended up not feeling as good as we would have liked." McVay said that given Jackson felt "a little soreness in it," they chose to take a precautionary approach with him this week. Jackson participated in the team's closed walkthrough on Friday.
Meanwhile, offensive lineman Rob Havenstein (ankle) carries no designation and is good to go for Sunday.
Los Angeles ruled out offensive lineman KT Leveston and tight end Tyler Higbee. McVay earlier this week indicated it was unlikely Higbee would be available for Sunday's game. McVay on Friday said Higbee is "probably" ready, but "we're going to be smart with him."
As for New Orleans, starting center Erik McCoy (groin) is one of three players listed as questionable, while left guard Lucas Patrick (calf) has been ruled out.
Below are the injury reports for both teams. NIR = Not Injury Related.
