The Los Angeles Rams should be close to full force when they face the 1-5 Atlanta Falcons on Sunday.
According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, Rams coach Sean McVay anticipates that running back Todd Gurley and cornerback Jalen Ramsey will suit up on Sunday for a must-win game.
Ramsey did not play in the last three games of his Jacksonville Jaguars career with a back injury. However, once his trade request was granted — with the Rams sending two first-round picks and a fourth for him on Tuesday — he was fully healthy and practiced with Los Angeles.
It's not certain that Ramsey will have a full workload on Sunday, but he is expected to suit up nonetheless. Considering that Marcus Peters now calls Baltimore home, Aqib Talib is on injured reserve and Ramsey is one of the best in the game, the 24-year-old two-time Pro Bowler will likely see snaps against Julio Jones and company.
Gurley missed the Week 6 loss to the San Francisco 49ers with a quadriceps injury. Without him, the Rams produced 109 yards and a touchdown on the ground, with the score coming on a Robert Woods run. Malcolm Brown received 11 carries, turning it into 40 yards. Darrell Henderson, a rookie, took advantage of his six attempts, churning out 39 yards.
Los Angeles is looking to snap a three-game losing streak that began with a home loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Having two of their best players on the field against a struggling Falcons team will go a long way.
