Sean McVay: Rams 'working through' Baker Mayfield's status for ... (NFL.com)

Could Baker Mayfield see action Thursday night against the Raiders? Rams head coach Sean McVay told reporters that they're "working through" their new ...

Really, we feel like it upgraded our quarterback room, gives us a chance to have him in the building, and we'll see how it goes, and we'll take it a day at a time." But a disappointing season isn't going to stop McVay, general manager Les Snead and the rest of the Rams brass from giving a top pick a chance when there's nothing left to lose. It's nearly impossible to expect Mayfield to immediately digest and master McVay's deep playbook, but in the event of an emergency, the Rams could probably find a way to meet somewhere in the middle on terminology. "When you have a player of his caliber come available and you look at just the circumstances and situations surrounding our quarterback room, we felt like it was the right move for us," Rams head coach Sean McVay said on Wednesday. McVay's tone when describing Mayfield was unusually positive for a quarterback who hasn't shown signs of his former self for most of the last calendar year. Once again, the Rams don't have much to lose at this point. It worked out, and we feel good about it." [released by his former team](https://www.nfl.com/news/panthers-expected-to-release-qb-baker-mayfield-waivers), but such is the case for the Rams, who are down to backup [John Wolford](https://www.nfl.com/players/john-wolford/) and past third-stringer [Bryce Perkins](https://www.nfl.com/players/bryce-perkins/) following [Matthew Stafford](https://www.nfl.com/players/matthew-stafford/)'s placement on injured reserve. "We'll take that really one day at a time until tomorrow." "It was a guy that I've always respected his game, like a lot of things that he brings to the table. "We had to address it at some point. A healthy Mayfield -- a player with plenty of starting experience and a playoff win to his name -- is clearly the best option of the three, even if the former No.

2022 NFL season: Four things to watch for in Raiders-Rams game ... (NFL.com)

NFL.com's Eric Edholm breaks down four things to watch for when the Las Vegas Raiders visit the Los Angeles Rams on "Thursday Night Football" on Prime ...

[Cooper Kupp](https://www.nfl.com/players/cooper-kupp/)and [Allen Robinson](https://www.nfl.com/players/allen-robinson/)are out, leaving a receiving corps of [Ben Skowronek](https://www.nfl.com/players/ben-skowronek/), [Van Jefferson](https://www.nfl.com/players/van-jefferson/), [Tutu Atwell](https://www.nfl.com/players/tutu-atwell/), [Brandon Powell](https://www.nfl.com/players/brandon-powell/)and others. [Cam Akers](https://www.nfl.com/players/cam-akers/), following a rough start to the season, had 60 yards and two TDs vs. The Rams need to generate offense any way they can, and Akers, Atwell, Powell and rookie [Kyren Williams](https://www.nfl.com/players/kyren-williams/)figure to get plenty of chances. He has 41 catches (on 67 targets) for 664 yards (16.2-yard average) and seven TDs in his past five games and is now leading the NFL in touchdowns (12) and is on pace to better his incredible 2021 production with [Aaron Rodgers](https://www.nfl.com/players/aaron-rodgers/)in Green Bay. [Bryce Perkins](https://www.nfl.com/players/bryce-perkins/)? With [Matthew Stafford](https://www.nfl.com/players/matthew-stafford/)shut down for the season -- and L.A. The Rams rank fourth in the NFL in rush defense at 96.7 yards allowed per game, even holding the Seahawks to 90 rush yards last week without DT [Aaron Donald](https://www.nfl.com/players/aaron-donald/). [Davante Adams](https://www.nfl.com/players/davante-adams/)- [Jalen Ramsey](https://www.nfl.com/players/jalen-ramsey/)show will be worth watching. [Josh Jacobs](https://www.nfl.com/players/josh-jacobs/)is on a tear, but he’s also banged up. After a five-target, one-catch, 3-yard game against the Saints in [Week 8](https://www.nfl.com/games/raiders-at-saints-2022-reg-8), Adams has been one of the toughest covers in the league. Las Vegas started the season with three straight losses and a 2-7 mark that drew calls from some for team owner Mark Davis to pull the plug on the Josh McDaniels experiment halfway into his first season. (Those Giants would finish 6-9, with four of the losses coming with replacement players.)
