Matthew Stafford and the Los Angeles Rams are hoping to rebound from a tough Week 16 loss to the Seattle Seahawks on Thursday Night Football, but their task may be even harder with the Atlanta Falcons coming to town for Monday Night Football in Week 17.

While Stafford himself is healthy, the Rams are dealing with mounting injury concerns across the offense, putting his supporting cast in question at a critical point in the season.

Rams Injury Report: Stafford’s Supporting Cast in Jeopardy

Rams head coach Sean McVay confirmed that Davante Adams is doubtful for Monday night’s matchup. Adams has been Stafford’s most reliable red-zone weapon and currently leads the NFL in touchdown receptions, making his potential absence a major blow.

The offensive line is also battered:

Left tackle Alaric Jackson is listed as questionable

Right tackle Rob Havenstein will not be activated from IR

Right guard Kevin Dotson has been officially ruled out with an ankle injury

If Jackson is unable to play, the Rams may be forced to start offseason free-agent addition D.J. Humphries against a dangerous Falcons pass rush.

Falcons Pass Rush Poses Serious Threat

The timing couldn’t be worse for the Rams. The Atlanta Falcons rank second in the NFL in sacks (50) entering Week 17, and Stafford could be under consistent pressure behind a depleted offensive line.

Despite the protection issues, Stafford has remained efficient. At age 37, he ranks:

13th in time to throw

4th in average completed air yards, per Next Gen Stats

Still, sustained pressure could tilt the matchup in Atlanta’s favor.

Defensive Boost: Rams Set to Welcome Back Roger McCreary

There is some positive news on the defensive side. The Rams are expected to get cornerback Roger McCreary back after opening his 21-day practice window earlier in the week.

Acquired from the Tennessee Titans at the 2025 trade deadline, McCreary has missed time since Week 12 but is expected to return just in time to face the Falcons.

However, the Rams will still be without cornerback Josh Wallace, who continues to recover from an ankle injury.

McVay explained the decision, noting Wallace’s desire to play but acknowledging the medical risk, according to Stu Jackson of TheRams.com.

Rams’ Playoff Push Faces Key Test in Week 17

The Rams are still fighting for postseason positioning and potential home-field advantage, but injuries are testing their depth at the worst possible moment.

With key offensive pieces uncertain and the Falcons bringing a strong pass rush to Monday Night Football, Stafford and the Rams must overcome adversity to keep their playoff hopes alive.

Everything starts with a must-win matchup against Atlanta in Week 17.
