The Los Angeles Rams are set to face the Philadelphia Eagles in the Divisional Round on Sunday. The Rams enter this game as heavy underdogs and will need all the help they can get to pull off the upset. Thankfully, it seems that all the players on the Rams injury report will be available on Sunday.

According to Adam Grosbard of the LA Daily News, Sean McVay told reporters that Alaric Jackson, Tyler Higbee, Ahkello Witherspoon, and Bobby Brown are all expected to play on Sunday during his press conference on Friday.

The most noteworthy player on this list for the Rams is Higbee. Higbee returned to the Rams lineup in Week 16 after missing most of a season due to an ACL tear he sustained last year in the playoffs. Since returning, Higbee has been working his way back into the game plan.

Last week, Higbee was having his best game back before sustaining a chest injury. In the first quarter, he had five receptions on five targets for 58 yards. He was proving to be a real threat again, so when he left, the Rams' offense took a hit for a few drives.

Higbee being available against the Eagles will be a huge help to Matthew Stafford in the middle of the field.

At the same time, the Rams having the other three players available will also be a big help. On the defensive side, Brown will help try and plug up the middle against Saqoun Barkley while Witherspoon will need to help slow down A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith.

Conversely, Jackson will aim to help sure up the Rams offensive line and keep Stafford clean from the dangerous Eagles pass rush.

Ultimately, having everyone available gives the Rams the best chance to defeat a team in the Eagles, who may have the most complete roster in the NFL.
