The Los Angeles Rams received some great news on the health front on Wednesday, as Lindsey Thiry of ESPN is reporting that running back Todd Gurley, left tackle Andrew Whitworth, and safety Lamarcus Joyner are all expected to play in the Rams' Divisional Round matchup in two weeks.
Gurley missed Los Angeles' season-ending win over the San Francisco 49ers this past weekend as a result of a knee injury he suffered during his team's loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 15.
It looked like Gurley was good to go for the 49ers game, but he was a last-minute scratch.
In 14 games this season, Gurley rushed for 1,251 yards and a league-leading 17 touchdowns while averaging 4.9 yards per carry. In addition, he hauled in 59 receptions for 580 yards and four scores en route to his second straight Pro Bowl selection.
Whitworth banged knees with a player during the Rams' season finale, but it looks like he will be alright. The tackle played in all 16 games this year, but 2018 marked the first time since 2014 that he did not make the Pro Bowl. He also earned First-Team All-Pro honors in 2015 and 2017.
Joyner was sidelined for the game against San Francisco due to a knee injury. In 15 games this year, he totaled 78 tackles, a sack, an interception, a fumble recovery, and three passes defended.
Los Angeles went 13-3 on the year, capturing the NFC West division title for the second straight season. It marked the first time the Rams won back-to-back division titles since 1979.
L.A. also earned a first-round bye for its efforts this season, which is proving to be very significant given their current health issues.
