The NFC West matchup between the Arizona Cardinals and the Los Angeles Rams is scheduled for this Saturday. The game could have been a potential title-winning encounter in the NFC West had the Cardinals not lost last week. That last loss means Arizona is no longer in the running for the playoffs.
Arizona will try to keep Los Angeles from winning the NFC West, so we still expect this game to be exciting.
Below, we will take a look at how the Rams are doing on the injury front ahead of the Saturday special.

Rams injury report for Week 17
Despite having a clean injury report at the beginning of the week, the Los Angeles Rams may be without a key member of their offensive line on Saturday due to an unexpected setback on Wednesday.
Only two players appeared on the team's injury report this week — offensive lineman Rob Havenstein (shoulder) on Wednesday and offensive lineman Alaric Jackson (NIR - Rest) on Thursday.
Havenstein is battling a shoulder issue that most likely happened during Wednesday's practice. He had limited practice that day due to the issue and he did not participate on Thursday.
Havenstein's status is still uncertain ahead of Saturday's home game against the Arizona Cardinals as the Rams listed him as questionable on their final injury report.
The offensive lineman, 32, has dealt with several injuries this season. He missed the first game against the Detroit Lions in Week 1 due to an ankle injury, and he missed three games last month due to another ankle issue.
The tenth-year offensive lineman has been with the Rams since he entered the NFL as a second-round pick in the 2015 draft. Joe Noteboom would likely start against the Cardinals on Saturday if Havenstein is not able to play.
The only other player who appeared on the Rams' injury report this week, Alaric Jackson, was only left out of practice on Thursday because the team wanted to give him a veteran rest day. He's not carrying any injury designation into the Week 17 game.
