Sam LaPorta and Tyler Higbee's teams are set to duke it out in a winner-take-all showdown between the Detroit Lions and Los Angeles Rams in NFC Wild Card Round. The contest takes place on January 15 at the Ford Field in Detroit.

However, while both quarterbacks are healthy for the contest, there are several notable names questionable for the game. Here's a look at both team's injury reports.

Overall, Tyler Higbee's Rams are the healthier team with six players on the injury report. In comparison, the Lions have 14 players listed with various issues. Of course, in a playoff week, anyone who is questionable is more than likely to play in the most important game of the season.

The Rams' offense is the more banged-up side of the ball with four starters listed with issues, including starting tight end Tyler Higbee. On defense, just one starter is listed with an injury.

Joe Noteboom has been held out of practice with a foot injury. He is questionable.

The Detroit Lions are significantly banged up going into the contest, but there's reason to believe the team is a bit healthier than it would seem on paper.

Dan Campbell has shown an ability to be tricky with his decisions in games. So, there's a good chance the active roster isn't quite as banged up as the injury report would indicate.

Teddy Bridgewater injury status

Teddy Bridgewater missed practice on Wednesday due to personal reasons and did not practice on Thursday, either. His status is unspecified.
