Rams Enter Eagles Matchup With Avila Doubtful, Fiske Expected to Play

Avila’s doubtful designation intensifies protection concerns against Jalen Carter.

Overview

  • Los Angeles listed starting left guard Steve Avila as doubtful after a week of missed practices, putting him in line for a second straight absence.
  • Defensive lineman Braden Fiske is questionable with an oblique injury but is expected to play, according to reporting from NFL Network.
  • If Avila sits, Justin Dedich is in line to start at left guard for a second consecutive week against Philadelphia’s interior led by Jalen Carter.
  • Tight end Colby Parkinson remains questionable with a shoulder issue, keeping opportunities open for Davis Allen and rookie Terrance Ferguson.
  • The Rams added reserve edge rusher Nick Hampton to the injury report late, trimming depth as they face an Eagles front that sacked Matthew Stafford 10 times last season.
