The last week has been a challenging one for the Los Angeles Rams as leading up to their Week 14 game against the Arizona Cardinals they lost five key players to the Reserve/COVID-19 list and then a bunch more landed on the list in the days following the games.
Because of the Rams’ coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak, which also includes coaches and other staff members, the NFL moved their Week 15 game against the Seattle Seahawks from Sunday to Tuesday in hopes of more players getting back in time.
While there is still time for more players to be activated, the NFL’s decision is proving to be a good one for L.A. as they have been getting some key players back in recent days.
Among them are Jalen Ramsey, Odell Beckham Jr., Darrell Henderson and a number of others as the team has been announcing all of their roster moves leading up to the game:

A number of these signings came from the practice squad so the Rams can field a full team when they host the Seahawks on Tuesday.
Obviously getting players like Ramsey, Beckham, Henderson is great news for L.A., and it’s possible that more are activated before kickoff.
Among the notables still on the Reserve/COVID-19 list and have been ruled out of the game are Jordan Fuller, Tyler Higbee and Rob Havenstein.
