Final Rams injury report for Week 13 is great news for Rams QB Matthew Stafford

There are several elements that seem to contribute to the success of the LA Rams this season. When the Rams deploy two tight ends with a frequency of 15 percent of the offensive snaps, the team wins. The team has done so five times this year., and the Rams are 5-0 when it happened. And when the offensive line does not allow quarterback Matthew Stafford to suffer a sack, the Rams win. The offensive line has done so three times this season, and the Rams are 3-0 when it happened.

The Rams may or may not use two tight ends. But the team is getting great news on the team's final injury report for Week 13. Starting right tackle Rob Havenstein is a full go for Week 13. He was injured and unable to compete in Weeks 11 or 12. While Alaric Jackson remains questionable, I suspect that he will start in Week 13 as well.

With Havenstein back, the Rams' offensive line could have a formidable phalanx protecting QB Matthew Stafford in Week 13. If Stafford is safe in the pocket, the Rams have a great chance of winning.

This game is vital for both the Saints and the Rams. But after the Rams shellacking at the hands of the Eagles, I believe they will be especially focused for this one. And the defense, riddled by Philadelphia Eagles RB Saquon Barkley for 255 yards, will have a chip on their shoulder in this game to reclaim their self-dignity and respect.

Nothing is given in the NFL. Everything is earned. The Rams will earn their sixth win in Week 13.
