Seahawks vs Rams Week 16 Inactive Players List and Updates
The Seattle Seahawks and the Los Angeles Rams faced off in Week 16, with notable changes in their player rosters due to injuries and other factors. This article outlines the key inactive players and updates for both teams ahead of the game.
Seahawks Inactive Players
The Seahawks announced that left tackle Charles Cross would be inactive for the matchup against the Rams. Cross sustained a hamstring injury during the team’s recent victory over the Colts. His absence was confirmed in the injury report released on Wednesday.
Active Players for the Seahawks
Despite Cross’s absence, the Seahawks saw several active players:
- Robbie Ouzts: The fullback, previously a healthy scratch, returned to action this week.
- Dareke Young: Recently activated from injured reserve, he will participate in the game for the Seahawks.
- Cam Akers: Making his Seahawks debut, Akers faces the team that drafted him five years ago.
- Amari Kight: Elevated from the practice squad, he will provide depth at tackle.
With Cross out, Josh Jones steps in as the starting left tackle. Additionally, Brandon Pili, typically part of the defensive line rotation, is a healthy scratch this week. This could indicate increased playing time for rookie Rylie Mills, who returned from an ACL injury last week.
Rams Inactive Players
The Rams also reported key player changes ahead of the game. Notably, Davante Adams, the receiver, was listed as doubtful due to a hamstring injury and has been ruled inactive.
Active Players for the Rams
On the brighter side, the Rams welcomed defensive end Braden Fiske, who was previously questionable with an ankle injury. His availability adds depth to the Rams’ defensive line.
This matchup between the Seahawks and Rams is critical as both teams aim for momentum late in the season. The absence of key players on both sides could significantly influence the game’s outcome.
