As expected, Rams running back Kyren Williams and offensive lineman Coleman Shelton are officially back from injured reserve.

Both players are expected to be available for Sunday's game against the Cardinals. The Rams activated both players on Saturday, which Sean McVay said would be the case during his media session on Friday.

INJURY UPDATE: Rams QB Matt Stafford making progress in concussion protocol

Additionally, the Rams also activated rookie safety Quentin Lake, who has been out all year due to a knee injury he suffered this summer. He'll take the place of Terrell Burgess in the secondary after he was waived by the Rams this week.

With Williams back from injury, the Rams waived Malcolm Brown from the 53-man roster.

PREDICTIONS: Who will win in Week 10 between the Los Angeles Rams and Arizona Cardinals?

Williams joins Cam Akers and Darrell Henderson Jr. on the active roster, while Ronnie Rivers is still on the practice squad. Rams head coach Sean McVay said that it is good chance Williams would be active on Sunday.

"I think there’s a good chance he’ll be up this week," McVay said.

Shelton will step right in as a starter again at guard, likely on the right side. That could cause the Rams to move Chandler Brewer to left guard, thus benching Bobby Evans.

Finally, the Rams promoted Jared Pinkney from the practice squad for this week's game against the Cardinals.
