Rams' Josh Wallace: Questionable after limited practice
Rotowire
Wallace (ankle) was limited in practice Thursday and is officially listed as questionable for Saturday's wild-card-round matchup on the road against Carolina, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.
Head coach Sean McVay indicated that Wallace's status may be determined by how comfortable he looked handling limited on-field reps Thursday, per Nate Atkins of The Athletic. As such, it won't be surprising if the reserve slot cornerback's status isn't made official until roughly 90 minutes prior to Saturday's 4:30 p.m. ET kickoff. Wallace has been sidelined due to a lingering ankle injury since Week 16.

Rams' Josh Wallace: Past hip injury
Rotowire
Wallace (hip) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.
Wallace managed a hip injury during Week 11 prep, but he was able to play this past Sunday against the Seahawks, when he logged three solo tackles while playing 38 snaps (27 on defense, 11 on special teams). Given his full participation in Wednesday's practice, Wallace is on track to be available for this Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, and he should continue to see meaningful playing time in the secondary for as long as Quentin Lake (elbow) is on injured reserve.
