Dotson (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Nate Atkins of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Dotson will end up missing the final two games of the regular season due to an ankle injury, though head coach Sean McVay relayed Friday that the sixth-year offensive lineman could return for the wild-card round of the playoffs. Justin Dedich is in line to start at right guard for a second consecutive week in Dotson's absence.

Dotson (ankle) did not participate in Thursday's practice, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
Dotson continues to be sidelined by an ankle injury that he suffered against the Seahawks in Week 16. He'll have one more chance to return to practice ahead of Sunday's game against the Cardinals. However, even if Dotson is cleared to play, the Rams may opt to sit the sixth-year offensive lineman as Los Angeles gears up for the playoffs, which would result in Justin Dedich once again starting at right guard.

Dotson (ankle) was a non-participant in Wednesday's walkthrough practice, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 29-year-old has not returned to practice since sustaining an ankle injury in the Week 16 loss to the Seahawks. Dotson likely needs to upgrade to at least limited practice Thursday or Friday in order to play in Sunday's regular-season finale against the Cardinals.

Head coach Sean McVay told reporters Saturday that Dotson (ankle) won't play in Monday night's matchup against the Falcons, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Dotson opened the Rams' week of practice with consecutive DNPs after spraining his ankle in the Week 16 loss to the Seahawks, so it's no surprise that he won't play Monday. While the 29-year-old is sidelined, expect Beaux Limmer to start at right guard in Week 17.

Dotson (ankle) did not participate at practice Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Dotson suffered an ankle sprain in Week 16 at Seattle and was carted off the field, so it's not a big surprise he's not able to practice yet. Unless he makes a remarkable return to practice Saturday, Dotson is trending toward sitting out Monday at Atlanta.

Dotson (ankle) was listed as a non-participant on Thursday's practice estimate, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Dotson has already been described as doubtful to play in Week 17 by head coach Sean McVay, and although the team didn't practice Thursday, he was still considered unavailable. The offensive lineman will have two more chances to return to practice prior to Monday night's contest against the Falcons.

Head coach Sean McVay said Friday that Dotson is nursing a sprained left ankle and is doubtful to play in Week 17 against the Falcons on Monday, Dec. 29, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Dotson was carted off the field during the first quarter of the Rams' overtime loss to the Seahawks on Thursday. He was diagnosed with an ankle sprain after undergoing further tests, and even with the extra time to recover, it appears the sixth-year offensive lineman will miss at least one game. Justin Dedich is a candidate to start at right guard against Atlanta if Dotson is indeed ruled out for Week 17.

Dotson (ankle) is questionable to return to Thursday night's contest against the Seahawks, Tyler Dragon of USA Today reports.
EDGE Analysis
Dotson sustained a left ankle injury in the first quarter, ultimately being carted to the locker room. The offensive lineman appears to be unlikely to return, and Justin Dedich has taken over at right guard in his absence.
