Rams Player to Watch
RG Kevin Dotson returned from a three-game absence due to an ankle injury and immediately reasserted his importance to Los Angeles’ offensive line. Dotson graded out as Pro Football Focus’ top run-blocking interior lineman in the divisional round, helping the Rams rush for 111 yards. Head coach Sean McVay later admitted he regretted moving away from the ground game. Dotson’s absence was felt in the Rams’ 38-37 overtime loss to Seattle last month, when his injury on the opening drive exposed a drop-off to backup Justin Dedich that played a role in the Rams losing control of the NFC West and the conference’s top seed.
Seahawks Player to Watch
RB Kenneth Walker III is set to carry an even heavier workload. Walker matched Shaun Alexander’s franchise record with three rushing touchdowns in last week’s playoff win while posting a season-high 116 yards on the ground. With Zach Charbonnet sidelined for the remainder of the postseason due to a knee injury, Seattle will lean heavily on Walker to anchor the rushing attack.
Key Matchup
WR Cooper Kupp vs. the Rams secondary. Kupp is coming off his best receiving performance since Nov. 9, following Seattle’s dominant 41-6 divisional-round win over San Francisco. Against his former team this season, Kupp has totaled six receptions for 62 yards across two games, setting up a pivotal battle in the passing game.
Key Injuries
Rams: CB Emmanuel Forbes Jr. (shoulder) is expected to play despite limited practice time. The secondary remains thin after Ahkello Witherspoon suffered a season-ending shoulder blade injury in the wild-card round. OLB Byron Young (knee soreness) was held out of practice as a precaution, while S Quentin Lake missed Wednesday’s session due to illness.
Seahawks: QB Sam Darnold (oblique) was limited in practice after suffering the injury last week. TE Elijah Arroyo (knee) and LB Chazz Surratt (ankle) returned as full participants after missing the divisional round. OT Charles Cross (foot), Josh Jones (knee/ankle), and Amari Kight did not practice Wednesday. RB George Holani (hamstring) practiced fully, while LB Uchenna Nwosu (hamstring) and FB Robbie Ouzts (neck) were limited.
Series Notes
The Rams have won four of their last six games in Seattle, though they fell in a 38-37 overtime thriller there last month. Each of the past five meetings between these teams has been decided by one score. Seattle holds a 17-8 home record against Los Angeles, though the Rams are 2-0 against the Seahawks in the postseason, with both wins coming in Seattle following the 2004 and 2020 seasons.
