Wilson sustained the head injury against the New England Patriots and hasn't played ever since. He'll now be in the running to feature against the Rams as the Arizona Cardinals aim to spoil their opponent's playoff push.

Joey Blount's injury update

According to CBS Sports, Joey Blount will not play against the Los Angeles Rams on Saturday. The safety is dealing with an injury to his ribs and won't be rushed to participate.

Blount was carried off the Gridiron as his side lost to the Bryce Young-led Carolina Panthers in Week 16. He'll now be forced to watch from the sidelines as his teammates look to pick up a victory against their divisional rivals.

Matt Prater's injury update

According to CBS Sports, Matt Prater will not play against the Los Angeles Rams. The kicker is dealing with a knee injury and hasn't been able to recover in time for the matchup.

Prater was a limited participant in every training session in the lead-up to the game. However, he'll play no part in Week 17 versus the Rams. Expect Chad Ryland to start in his place against the former Super Bowl champions.
