Seahawks vs Rams: Starting lineup and injury report - October 7 | NFL 2021-22 Season
The Seattle Seahawks and the Los Angeles Rams face each other in an NFC West matchup that could be season-defining for both teams.
The NFC West is the toughest division in the league. All four teams possess enough quality to qualify for the playoffs. While it's exciting for fans to see a run for the division title, teams that play in this division have a tougher path to get to the postseason as well.
The Rams are coming off their first loss of the season to the Arizona Cardinals in a battle of undefeated teams. After a surprising victory against the 49ers in Levi's Stadium, the Seahawks hope to continue their momentum with a win on Thursday over the Rams.
Check out the injury report and the starting lineups for the game.
