It's officially Week 11 and the Los Angeles Rams have overcome their disappointing loss to the Miami Dolphins on Monday night. Next up is another AFC East opponent: The Rams are visiting the New England Patriots.
Each team held its first practice of the week on Wednesday, although the Rams opted for just a walkthrough practice instead of a full practice. Therefore, attending their initial injury report is an estimate.
The Rams listed six players in Wednesday's report, including Rob Havenstein, Joe Noteboom, Byron Young and Kam Curl. Four players would not have taken part in training, one would have been limited and Curl would have been a full participant.
The Patriots' injury report was much longer with 12 players, although only five of them missed practice overall.

Update on Rob Havenstein's injury
Sean McVay said Wednesday that there's a chance Havenstein will play against the Patriots on Sunday after missing Week 10, but also added that it's “probably less likely than likely,” so the prospects aren't great be good.
Update on Joe Noteboom's injury
In addition to Havenstein, Noteboom also missed training due to an ankle injury. Noteboom was hospitalized for eight weeks with an ankle injury before returning Monday night. However, it is unclear whether this is related or how serious the injury is.
If both Havenstein and Noteboom miss the game, Warren McClendon Jr. would start at right tackle.
Byron Young injury update
Young is a surprising addition to the injury report as he appears to be battling a knee injury. It probably happened in Monday's game, but he would have been limited in practice, so that bodes well for his availability this weekend.
Kam Curl injury update
Curl is still dealing with a knee injury he sustained a few weeks ago, but he is making progress and could have fully participated in training.
