Three-time All-Pro linebacker Von Miller could potentially make his debut as a member of the Los Angeles Rams on Monday night against the San Francisco 49ers, ESPN reported on Monday.
Miller is still listed as questionable with an ankle injury he sustained while still playing for the Denver Broncos. The Rams chose to hold him out of last week's game, a 28-16 loss to the Tennessee Titans.
NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported Miller has looked better in practices and should take the field at SoFi on Monday barring any setbacks.
There is optimism that #Rams pass-rusher Von Miller, listed as questionable with an ankle injury, will play tonight, source said. He looked good in practice and did much more than last week. Barring a setback, he’ll make his debut for LA.

Miller, 32, registered 4.5 sacks in seven games for Denver this season before being injured in a 17-14 loss to the Cleveland Browns on October 21.
If Miller plays on Monday night, he won't be the only high-profile player making his debut for the Rams. Wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. will also play his first game for L.A. since signing a one-year, $4.5 million deal with the team last week.
Prior to Beckham signing with the Rams, Miller posted to social media he hoped the wideout would join him in Southern California.
