The St. Louis Rams will play the division rival San Francisco 49ers this week on primetime on Monday Night Football. This will be the first meeting between the two teams this season as well as the Rams’ first division game. Both teams are dealing with their share of injuries. Here’s the report:

According to ESPN Rams writer Nick Wagoner, coach Jeff Fisher said earlier in the week that Stacy would probably miss practice time but would have a chance to play against the 49ers. If Stacy cannot go Benny Cunningham will get the nod at running back. Cunningham replaced Stacy against the Eagles scoring a touchdown in the Rams’ failed comeback attempt.
