INJURIES TO WATCH
LAR TE Tyler Higbee: marked doubtful, and HC Sean McVay isn’t expressing optimism about his availability. If he’s out, TE Kendall Blanton will have an every down role. Higbee was placed on IR Friday, he is out.
LAR RB Darrell Henderson: expected to be activated off injured reserve and mix into the RB rotation. Henderson was activated from IR Friday, he’ll be active for the game.
CIN TE C.J. Uzomah: marked questionable, but he spoke to reporters on Monday saying “he’s not missing the game of his life” – he seems to have a shot to play if he has a good week of practice. Uzomah is expected to be active on Sunday.
