The Los Angeles Rams take on their division rival, the Arizona Cardinals, in a road contest this Sunday to close out their yearly series. The Cardinals, who are led by former Rams offensive coordinator Mike LaFleur, are holding onto playoff hopes that continue to dissipate with each passing week.
Part of the reason they have hope is their Week 6 victory over the Rams, where LaFleur walked out of SoFi Stadium with an 18-16 victory that was his second win in that stadium this year. This time around, though, they'll be much more shorthanded. ESPN's Adam Schefter reported Monday that top receiver Michael Wilson is out for the season with a neck injury.

Wilson, who is one of the
best receivers in the NFL, had 51 receptions and 546 receiving yards through nine games. While Wilson only put up four catches for 32 yards against the Rams last time, his influence forced the Rams to stretch themselves defensively, allowing Arizona to put up 338 yards in the win.
The last time Los Angeles visited Arizona, Wilson had 11 catches for 142 yards and two touchdowns. However, the Rams won in a blowout, 45-17.
