During his press conference on Monday afternoon, Sean McVay provided updates on the Los Angeles Rams' two injured cornerbacks. Jaylen Watson and Trent McDuffie both exited Sunday's game with injuries and were unable to return, but it doesn't sound like either will be out very long, if at all.
McVay told reporters that Watson is "feeling good and optimistic" after aggravating his shoulder injury in the third quarter, and he's considered day-to-day. Additionally, McDuffie "came in feeling better than expected" after hurting his back while making a tackle in the third quarter.
McDuffie said he was "feeling good" after the game while doing an on-field interview, which was a good sign to begin with, but it's encouraging to hear McVay said he's feeling even
better on Monday.
Rams CB Jaylen Watson (shoulder) is "feeling good and optimistic," but Sean McVay will wait & see. CB Trent McDuffie "came in feeling better than expected."

Watson and McDuffie have both missed time this season. Watson originally dislocated his shoulder in Week 3 and missed one game. McDuffie suffered a groin injury in practice before the Rams' Week 6 game, causing him to miss two games before returning on Sunday.
The Rams take on the Commanders this week and then the Cardinals after that before getting a little bit of a break with their Week 11 bye.
