Rams fans everywhere held their collective breath on Saturday afternoon when both Aaron Donald and Cooper Kupp left the game and were unable to return. They each were taken to the locker room at separate times, with Kupp suffering a knee injury in the final minutes and Donald injuring his ribs in the second half.
However, both players are trending in the right direction as of Sunday. Sean McVay provided an injury update on Donald and Kupp, as well as John Wolford and David Edwards, all of whom left the Rams’ win over the Seahawks.
Donald and Kupp are considered day-to-day but both are expected to play against the Packers in the divisional round on Saturday. That’s as good a bit of news as McVay could’ve shared, adding that the team will be smart with them throughout the week of practice.
Injury updates from Sean McVay:
QB John Wolford – stinger, day-to-day.
OL David Edwards – achilles tendinitis, day to day.
DL Aaron Donald – rib – day-to-day but don't expect it to affect his status for Sat.'s game.
WR Cooper Kupp – bursitis – day-to-day, expected to play.

Edwards was replaced by Bobby Evans at left guard for the majority of the game, and though the offensive line didn’t look terribly different, the hope is that Edwards can play next weekend. He’s been a stud at left guard all season and has done a good job in the running game.
Jared Goff replaced Wolford at quarterback, but he’s also dealing with an injury of his own just 13 days removed from thumb surgery.
