Aaron Donald cleared for Monday night against Buffalo
Donald, Colby Parkinson and Jaylen Watson carry no game designation; safety Quentin Lake remains questionable.
Aaron Donald has no injury designation for the Rams’ Monday night game against the Buffalo Bills, clearing the defensive end to play despite appearing on the practice report with a back issue.
Tight end Colby Parkinson, listed with knee and shoulder injuries, and cornerback Jaylen Watson, who had a shoulder injury, also carry no game designation on the final report.
Donald practiced fully Friday before sitting out Saturday, when the Rams listed both his back and rest as reasons for his absence. The final game designation confirms his availability despite that missed session.
Safety Quentin Lake remains questionable with a hip injury. Coach Sean McVay expressed optimism about Lake after Friday’s practice, but the designation leaves his availability unresolved.
Buffalo ruled out defensive lineman Ed Oliver with a knee injury and receiver Josh Palmer with a shoulder injury. Receiver DJ Moore is questionable.
The game is scheduled for October 12 at SoFi Stadium, with kickoff at 5:15 p.m. Pacific, 6:15 p.m. Mountain. ESPN and ABC will carry the broadcast.
