Following up on
the ongoing story. ... Head coach Sean McVay announced tight end
Gerald Everett (knee) is "good to go" for Week 16 after being a full participant all week; Everett has missed the last three with the injury.
Everett avoided injury designation. It will be interesting to see how he impacts
Tyler Higbee, who has been on a tear in Everett's absence.
McVay added that cornerback Troy Hill will miss the game with a thumb injury, and that the team will assess kicker
Greg Zuerlein (quad) on Friday to determine his status for gameday.
Zuerlein is listed as questionable.
“Greg is making good progress,” McVay said. “We’ll kick him tomorrow, see how he’s feeling. Have some guys coming in for a workout – really have one guy coming in for a workout. We keep those things in-house, so we’ll keep consistent with our normal standard operating procedures with that.”
McVay made it clear that Zuerlein is feeling good and he doesn’t anticipate him not being able to play, but the Rams are exercising caution with their kicker. They worked out
Brett Maher on Thursday as a backup plan if Zuerlein can’t play.
