Long has made good progress during the weeks practices and has participated in most drills, but the decision to play could still come down to pre-game warm ups. Quinn only returned to practice on Friday after missing both Wednesday and Thursday. The Rams had their normal day off on Thursday, but Quinn was listed as a non-participant on the anticipated injury report.

In addition to the corner pieces of the defensive line, St. Louis may also be without offensive tackle Rob Havenstein. Havenstein returned last week against the Chicago Bears from an injury sustained the previous week. However, toward the completion of the loss to the Bears, Havenstein was being tended to on the Rams sideline and was seen with ice wrapped around his calf. Havenstein did not practice this week.

Rookies Andrew Donnal and Cody Wichmann peg as the replacements for Havenstein. If Havenstein can’t go, St. Louis will be limited to just center Tim Barnes and left tackle Greg Robinson as the only two players on the offensive line still active form the beginning of the season. Guards Jamon Brown (leg) and Rodger Saffold (shoulder) were both lost to season ending injuries. Barnes is recovering from a concussion, but it does not appear he will miss anytime.

Here’s how the injury report breaks down after Friday’s practice:

Doubtful: OT Rob Havenstein (calf)

Questionable: DE Chris Long (knee), TE Justice Cunningham (finger), DE Robert Quinn (hip)

Probable: C Tim Barnes (concussion)
