So far, this has not been the Todd Gurley of 2015

The rookie returned to practice on Friday and, like Ansah, is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game.

Following their upcoming game on the road against the Lions, Los Angeles will take their turn in London. They’ve managed just 284.2 yards per game, and they rank near the bottom in most statistical categories, including an NFL-low nine trips to their opponents’ red zone for just four touchdowns – 28th-best in the league.

Assuming Johnson is a no-go Sunday, the Rams will likely start Troy Hill, who has played well in a reserve role thus far and after replacing Johnson against the Bills.

Rams coach Jeff Fisher took some heat after last Sunday’s decision to fake a punt late in the fourth quarter from his own 23-yard line.

Hayes all but ruled himself out against the Lions (2-3), adding that he would be more likely to play against the Giants in London on October 23.

The Lions are limited offensively as they scrape to generate a running game.

“They were a little bit panicked there on what we were doing”, he said.

On Friday, when asked about the Rams’ upcoming visit to the Lions – a team that saw him run for 140 yards and two scores last December: “I wish I was doing what I was doing a year ago, but I’m not”. It wasn’t a coincidence that the team went 6-2 down the stretch and almost earned a wild-card spot once Stafford started taking better care of the ball.

“He’s a Pro Bowl player and you miss those guys”, Detroit defensive Teryl Austin acknowledged. You never want to see somebody get hurt, this is their job, this is how we feed our families. Three of the teams defensive starters, Robert Quinn, William Hayes and Michael Brockers, were inactive for the game.

This just reinforced the type of player Aaron Donald is. Newly signed running back Justin Forsett will be in the backfield with Dwayne Washington for the Lions.

The Rams (3-2) had a three-game winning streak snapped by the Buffalo Bills, 30-19. Hill made two starts earlier this season when E.J. Gaines was dealing with a thigh injury, making a career-high 11 tackles in the victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He has 50 carries for 171 yards and 26 receptions for 190 yards and three touchdowns this season.

Also check status of RAMS CB Trumaine Johnson, who needed crutches for a right-ankle injury suffered in Week 5.

What does he have left? Goff is relegated to learning by watching Case Keenum, and that doesn’t sound as if it will change anytime soon. Neither team is going to blow the other out, but the Rams will make the necessary plays down the stretch to improve to 4-2 on the young season.
