Rams' Kevin Dotson: Sidelined to open week

Dotson (ankle) was listed as a non-participant on Thursday's practice estimate, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.

Dotson has already been described as doubtful to play in Week 17 by head coach Sean McVay, and although the team didn't practice Thursday, he was still considered unavailable. The offensive lineman will have two more chances to return to practice prior to Monday night's contest against the Falcons.
