If a tree falls in the forest and nobody’s around to hear it, does it make a noise? What if there’s no forest?
The Los Angeles Rams cancelled practice today coming off of Monday night’s season-opening win over the Oakland Raiders in Week 1 with the Arizona Cardinals coming to LA on Sunday in Week 2. And yet somehow despite not having a practice, RB Todd Gurley was a non-participant. In a non-practice.
Huh.

|---|---|---|---|
| Name | POS | Injury | Wed. Status |
| Todd Gurley | RB | Not Injury Related | DNP |
| Mark Barron | ILB | Ankle | DNP |

In the end, it’s a benign issue.
As for Thomas, Rams Head Coach Sean McVay mentioned Thomas tweaked his groin in his remarks yesterday. He’s listed with a hip injury, but we’ll see how things progress and get an update from McVay on Friday.
As for Arizona, they’ve got a TON more to worry about:
