His availability provides a boost for the Rams' defensive front as they prepare to face a Buffalo team that enters the matchup at 3-1.

McVay also provided an update on defensive back Quentin Lake, who remains questionable for Monday's game.

“The only guy that will be listed as questionable will be Q Lake [Quentin Lake], but I feel like he’s trending in the right direction, he feels good. So, that’s a positive for us.”

The Rams (2-2) will host the Bills on Monday at 5:15 p.m. PT on ESPN and ABC.
