LB Justin Hillard (Achilles/IR)
QUESTIONABLE:
OL Ben Bredeson (hand)
WR Darius Slayton (hamstring)

As for the Rams, the only concern surrounds Aaron Donald. The best defensive player in the game took no part at Wednesday's practice. Furthermore, he was limited on Thursday. The Rams attempt to monitor Donald's reps in practice, plus they try and give him as much rest as possible. The injury report may not matter come game time, but Donald's status is worth monitoring.

Yes, flying cross country and playing a morning game is difficult. Nevertheless, the Rams are far too talented and powerful to lose to the Giants. Matthew Stafford and his teammates will win comfortably and carry on their excellent form.
