Dotson (foot) is active for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports. Dotson opened the week with back-to-back DNPs but he was able to get in a limited session Friday. The 2020 fourth-round pick will serve as the starting right guard for Sunday's NFC West showdown.
Dotson (foot) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Cardinals but is expected to play, Gary Klein of the Los Angeles Times reports. Dotson missed practice Wednesday and Thursday but was able to get in a limited session Friday, leading coach Sean McVay to say the Rams' right guard is expected to play versus Arizona. Los Angeles already lost starting lineman Steve Avila to a multi-week MCL injury in the Week 1 opener.
Head coach Sean McVay told reporters Monday that Dotson is day-to-day with a lateral ankle sprain, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports. Dotson's practice participation will be something to monitor as the week progresses, especially since the Rams are already dealing with a plethora of injuries among their offensive linemen. If Dotson is forced to miss time with this lateral ankle sprain, expect Logan Bruss or Beaux Limmer to step in at right guard.
The Rams re-signed Dotson to a three-year, $48 million dollar deal Thursday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. The 27-year-old offensive lineman was traded to the Rams last offseason and he's now in line to stay in Los Angeles for the immediate future. With this new deal, Dotson becomes the fifth-highest paid guard in the NFL, making $16 million per year. Expect the veteran to continue holding down the Rams' offensive line for years to come.
