The Rams plan further practice tests this week to determine the guard’s availability.

Overview

  • Dotson was an estimated limited participant in Wednesday’s walkthrough, with the team set to push the ankle in Thursday’s practice to gauge readiness.
  • Sean McVay said Dotson intends to play and voiced optimism, though the Rams have not announced a decision.
  • Without Dotson, Los Angeles’ rushing efficiency fell to -0.009 EPA per play with a 46.2% success rate, underscoring his impact on the ground game.
  • Since his exit, Matthew Stafford has been sacked four times and pressured 19 times in the two full games Dotson missed.
