Rams, 49ers Face Key Injuries Ahead Thursday Night Clash

The Los Angeles Rams face notable injuries ahead of their Thursday Night Football game against the San Francisco 49ers, with tight end Tyler Higbee and offensive lineman Rob Havenstein both doubtful. Warren McClendon Jr. is likely to replace Havenstein on the offensive line, while Terrance Ferguson may be activated to cover for Higbee's absence. Rams head coach Sean McVay and offensive coordinator Mike LaFleur expressed optimism about Ferguson's development and the team's overall readiness despite these setbacks. The 49ers will also be without key offensive players Brock Purdy, Ricky Pearsall, and Jauan Jennings, which could heavily impact their offensive production and benefit the Rams' defense. Rams star receiver Davante Adams, who recently played through a hamstring injury, is expected to be ready and continue as a key offensive weapon. The injury situations on both sides will significantly shape the game dynamics at SoFi Stadium.
