RAMS (7-6) at SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS (6-7) When: Thursday, 5:15 p.m. Where: Levi’s Stadium (Santa Clara) TV/radio: Amazon Prime, Ch. 11/710 AM; 93.1 FM; 1330 AM (Spanish); Sirius Line: 49ers by 3½ points Notable injury designations Rams: OUT: CB Cobie Durant (chest), TE Tyler Higbee (knee); QUESTIONABLE: LT Alaric Jackson (knee), DE Tyler Davis (calf), WR Jordan Whittington (shoulder), TE Davis Allen (shoulder), WR Demarcus Robinson (shoulder), C Beaux Limmer (knee). 49ers: OUT: G Ben Bartch (ankles), LT Trent Williams (ankle), S Malik Mustapha; QUESTIONABLE: DT Khalil Davis (knee), LB Dre Greenlaw (Achilles), RB Isaac Guerendo (foot), DE Nick Bosa (hip/oblique). What’s at stake? Both teams remain in the thick of the NFC West race, but the Rams have a clearer path to the division crown and corresponding playoff berth with a one-game advantage over the 49ers. A win Thursday would give the Rams the tiebreaker over San Francisco and their first two-game sweep of their rivals since 2018. Who’s better? Injuries have ravaged both rosters, but the Rams have mostly avoided the season-ending variety that have plagued the 49ers. That gives the Rams a slight edge even as San Francisco gets healthier with the returns of safety Talanoa Hufanga and linebacker Dre Greenlaw. Matchup to watch: Rams OLBs vs. Niners LT Jaylon Moore. Moore has been steady in Trent Williams’ absences this year, not allowing a sack in 97 pass-block snaps. But if the Rams can put pressure on the backup and subsequently on quarterback Brock Purdy, they can make the 49ers’ offense off-balanced.
