When the regular season schedule was unveiled, it looked as though the Rams drew a short straw in Week 1 with Andrew Luck and the Colts coming to town. Fast-forward a few months and the Rams actually caught a break by facing Indy in the season opener.

Starting center Ryan Kelly has already been ruled out for the game with a foot injury, Andrew Luck isn’t certain to play as he’s still recovering from shoulder surgery and now the Colts will likely be without their top cornerback, Vontae Davis.

Head coach Chuck Pagano said on Tuesday that Davis has a “significant” groin injury and will miss multiple weeks.

With the season opener less than two weeks away, one can assume he won’t be ready by then. That should make the lives of Sammy Watkins, Robert Woods and Tavon Austin much easier to open the season.

Needless to say, Sean McVay couldn’t have asked for a more favorable matchup to kick off his head coaching career, assuming these three players are sidelined. Then again, the Browns are probably still a worse team than the Luck-less Colts.
