The Los Angeles Rams will face the Chicago Bears in the Divisional Round of the playoffs, and now the time has been set.
The Los Angeles Rams will take on the Chicago Bears in their next playoff game for Divisional Weekend.
With the matchup set and Wild Card Weekend wrapping up with the Houston Texans defeating the Pittsburgh Steelers, times for the next round have been set.
Per the NFL, the Rams and Bears will face off with one another on Sunday night.
Considering the Rams played on Saturday night, they would have been on a short week leading into their next playoff matchup had they played again on Saturday. That will not be the case, and they draw the "Sunday Night Football" slot.
Los Angele not only gets a break in terms of scheduling, but they are also starting to get healthier.
Rams head coach Sean McVay revealed multiple injury updates on multiple important players on Monday.
McVay began by revealing that Matthew Stafford suffered a sprained finger in the win against the Panthers. He also indicated that the quarterback should not be in any kind of danger in terms of missing the Divisional Round.
Offensive lineman Kevin Dotson is also trending towards playing after an ankle injury kept him out of the last two regular season games and the first playoff outing.
Josh Wallace has also been out for the same games due to an ankle injury, but McVay indicated he was close to returning for the Wild Card Round. The same goes for Terrance Ferguson, who missed the regular season finale and playoff game with a hamstring injury.
Both are trending towards playing in the matchup against the Bears. This should be a significant boost for both sides of the ball.
The only bad news that came from the injury report thus far is that Akhello Witherspoon has been placed on IR. He re-aggravated his shoulder injury that impacted his regular season and will not return for the postseason.
The Rams and Bears will face off against one another on Sunday night. This should be an exciting matchup for Los Angeles, as they aim to advance NFC Championship.
Chicago has been an unpredictable team throughout the 2025 season and into the playoffs. The Rams will need the defense to step up and silence Caleb Williams and company.
