What It Means:

As the Rams start to gear up to play the Buffalo Bills Sunday, they've been without running backs Malcolm Brown and Akers. The latter, a rookie, is dealing with a ribs injury that is being called day-to-day by head coach Sean McVay. Keep a close eye on his practice participation over the next couple days, as a DNP on the first injury report is certainly inauspicious.

The Rams are facing a Bills defense that has been surprisingly porous on the ground through two weeks. It's allowing 0.2 adjusted net expected points per rush play, ranking 27th in the NFL.
