Aaron Donald Out, Puka Nacua Returns for Rams’ Game Against Eagles on Sunday – WTOP News
Puka Nacua is set to return after missing two games, while Aaron Donald sits out with back soreness and the Rams manage several other injuries.
- All-Pro receiver Puka Nacua is expected to play Sunday against the Philadelphia Eagles after missing two games with a hip and groin injury, but defensive tackle Aaron Donald was ruled out due to back soreness.
- Donald's back soreness surfaced after the Rams' Week 3 loss to the Denver Broncos, while Nacua initially played through hip discomfort in the season opener before missing subsequent games.
- Head coach Sean McVay also ruled out cornerback Jaylen Watson and tight end Terrance Ferguson for Sunday, while waiving return specialist Xavier Smith on Friday and calling up Alex Bachman to address special teams issues.
- McVay stated the Rams are erring on the side of caution with Donald, saying, "part of our job is to protect these tough dudes like him from themselves." The 35-year-old could likely play through the injury if needed.
- The Rams face the Eagles at Lincoln Financial Field hoping to avoid falling to 1-3, having lost their last four contests against Philadelphia and needing both Nacua's return and defensive depth to compete.
