Rams' Travin Howard: Returning from lengthy absence

Howard (hip) does not have an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Chargers, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.

Howard has missed the Rams' last seven games and has appeared in only one contest this season. However, he practiced throughout the week -- including a full session Friday -- and appears likely to return to bolster the team's linebacker corps for Sunday's matchup against the Chargers.
