The Rams are less than two weeks away from playing their first postseason game since 2004, and their first in Los Angeles since 1985. Sunday’s game against the 49ers will have no bearing on their playoff chances after clinching the NFC West last week, and their seeding in the big dance is pretty much set.

A win and they’re the No. 3 seed, a loss – paired with wins by the Saints or Panthers – and they’re the No. 4 seed. Given that fact, the Rams are going to rest their starters, and the injury report is an indication as to why.

Several players were listed as DNP for Wednesday’s walkthrough, including Cooper Kupp and Rodger Saffold.

“It was something that he’s kind of been playing through,” McVay said of Kupp. “He aggravated it a little bit more. He had had just the normal bumps and bruises, but that knee had kind of gotten banged around a little bit.”

McVay didn’t say whether Kupp would be among the players to get the week off against San Francisco, but given the nature and timing of his injury, it wouldn’t be the least bit surprising to see the rookie inactive.

Saffold suffered an oblique injury against the Titans, but McVay said he “checked out OK” and would be good to go for Sunday, so it remains to be seen if he’ll play. Barron, on the other hand, is unlikely to go, considering how many injuries he’s played through this season.
