According to Josina Anderson, Williams said he’s “all good” and will play. Williams is active. Williams allows the offense to do so much more on the ground and through the air. Here’s a look at the inactives for today’s game:
WR Mohamed Sanu
RB Jeff Wilson (ankle)
DT Maurice Hurst
LB Marcell Harris
CB Deommodore Lenoir
OG Aaron Banks
QB Nate Sudfeld
Ambry Thomas is back in the lineup. That’ll be big for the secondary—no real surprises for the inactive list.
Jaylon Moore is active, as is Trey Sermon. Will Moore serve as the swing tackle? Will Sermon contribute on special teams or even sneak in a snap on passing downs?
Rams S Taylor Rapp will miss his third game in a row. That means the Rams will play two backup safeties.
