Rams Right Guard Dotson Cleared for Titans Game

Los Angeles Rams right guard Kevin Dotson, who suffered a sprained ankle in the season opener against the Houston Texans, is expected to return to play Sunday against the Tennessee Titans after being designated available by head coach Sean McVay. Dotson was limited in practice leading up to the game, showing progress from missing earlier sessions, while left guard Steve Avila and tight end Colby Parkinson remain doubtful due to their respective injuries. Avila, who also left the Week 1 game with an ankle sprain but returned, has not practiced this week, and if unable to play, backups Beaux Limmer or Justin Dedich are likely to start. The Rams also saw offensive lineman Rob Havenstein return to practice after an ankle injury. Dotson is in his third season with the Rams and has been a consistent starter, making 61 starts in 70 career games. The team is hopeful to maintain offensive line stability with Dotson's return, crucial for their upcoming matchup against Tennessee.
