Rams | Puka Nacua couldn't 'have some of the power and full explosion' with calf, will test pregame Fri Oct 23, 02:33 PM
Rams head coach Sean McVay said on Friday that WR Puka Nacua stopped practicing because he felt he wasn't able to "have some of the power and full explosion" with his calf. Nacua will work out before Sunday's game against the Raiders to test the injury. He is questionable for the game, and the calf injury is believed to be minor.

Rams | Puka Nacua's status for Sunday 'very much up in the air' with calf injury Fri Oct 23, 12:42 PM
Rams WR Puka Nacua's availability for Sunday's Week 7 game at the Raiders is uncertain. "It's very much up in the air if Puka Nacua is gonna play this Sunday," the report said on Friday. Nacua left Thursday's practice early with a calf injury.
| Footballguys view: With a 4:25 pm E.T. kickoff, fantasy managers may face a tough decision. We'll hope for a report that gives us clarity before the early games kick off, but Nacua's managers should pick up Konata Mumpfield as a same-game pivot. Isaac TeSlaa is also available in many leagues after last week's bye and could be a nice option in a game with a week-high 53.5-point over/under. If Nacua plays, he's in your lineup. But the dreaded late-game uncertainty will require managers to plan ahead. |

Rams | Puka Nacua's calf injury believed to be 'minor' Fri Oct 23, 08:23 AM
Rams WR Puka Nacua suffered what is believed to be a minor calf injury. Nacua left Thursday's practice early with the calf injury. The Rams play at the Raiders on Sunday.
| Footballguys view: After Davante Adams suffered a ruptured hamstring earlier in the week, the Rams are extremely thin at receiver, with no viable options behind Nacua. Leaving a practice midweek is always a concern, but the Rams are downplaying the severity. We should have a better idea on Nacua's outlook after Friday's practice. |

Rams | Aaron Donald could go past his 'general snap count' with Ford, Turner on IR Thu Oct 22, 08:09 PM
Rams DT Aaron Donald has a "general snap count" going into each game, but defensive coordinator Chris Shula said the team might leave him in longer in a tight game now that DTs Poona Ford and Kobie Turner have landed on injured reserve this week. "I don't think we would go crazily past that, but it's going to be hard if it's a tight game and he's at that number, just kind of like one of those pitchers in the ninth inning, you're probably going to leave him in for a few extra pitches," Shula said. Donald, who came out of retirement and rejoined the team on Aug. 30, posted his two highest single-game pressure rates of the season over the last two weeks, 13% against Arizona and 10.5% against Buffalo. "If it's 30 plays, 40 plays, 50 plays, 60 plays, that's what it's going to be," Donald said ahead of Sunday's game at the Raiders.

Rams | Puka Nacua leaves practice early with calf injury Thu Oct 22, 06:11 PM
Rams WR Puka Nacua left practice early on Thursday with a calf injury. The Rams play at the Raiders on Sunday in Week 7.
| Footballguys view: The Rams are already without Davante Adams (hamstring), and now they might also be without Nacua. We'll have to see if Nacua can at least be limited on Friday, but this is not a positive development. Konata Mumpfield needs to be rostered in all leagues, and he could be getting a much larger workload if Nacua can't play against the Raiders. |

Rams | Puka Nacua remains under league review, no timeline for decision Thu Oct 22, 09:00 AM
Rams WR Puka Nacua remains under league review for an off-field incident, NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy told The California Post on Wednesday. There is no timeline for a decision. Rams LT Alaric Jackson is also under league review for a separate off-field incident.
| Footballguys view: The Rams have been waiting for the league to make a decision, and that may be coming. However, they don't have much of a cushion (in fact, no cushion) based on their record. Plus, Davante Adams is now missing time... so, an answer sooner rather than later would give the team clarity. Stay tuned. |

Rams | Rams exploring wide receiver trade market ahead of deadline Wed Oct 21, 01:05 PM
The Rams are exploring the wide receiver trade market as they evaluate their options ahead of the NFL trade deadline, ESPN's Dan Graziano reported. Los Angeles is without WR Davante Adams, who is on injured reserve after rupturing his hamstring and is expected to miss 6-10 weeks. WR Puka Nacua leads the Rams' receiver group.
| Footballguys view: Rams HC Sean McVay has denied that the team is looking elsewhere for help at the wide receiver position. He's doing this to prevent teams from driving up prices for available receivers. The Rams need help, and we imagine GM Les Snead will be active in pursuing wide receivers in the next week or so. |

Rams | Davante Adams headed to IR with ruptured hamstring, out 6-10 weeks Mon Oct 19, 05:00 PM
Rams WR Davante Adams will be placed on injured reserve with a ruptured hamstring and will miss six to 10 weeks, head coach Sean McVay said on Monday. Adams came up limping on a non-contact play in the final minute of Sunday's Week 6 loss to the Cardinals. He had 30 catches for 480 yards and four touchdowns in six games, including over 300 yards and two touchdowns in the two games WR Puka Nacua missed with a core injury. The Rams' other options include WRs Tutu Atwell, Jordan Whittington, Konata Mumpfield and rookie CJ Daniels.

Rams | Davante Adams ruptured hamstring, out 6-10 weeks Mon Oct 19, 04:51 PM
Rams WR Davante Adams ruptured his hamstring and will be out 6-10 weeks. Adams was injured in the fourth quarter of Sunday's loss to the Cardinals and did not return.
| Footballguys view: The injury comes amid a tough stretch for a team that many thought would run the table and win the Super Bowl entering the season. The Rams fell to 2-4 with Sunday's loss, their second straight. Losing Adams will undoubtedly make it that much more difficult for Stafford and the Rams' offense to turn things around after this rough start. Expect Konata Mumpfield, Jordan Whittington, and Tutu Atwell to move up in the rotation behind Puka Nacua with Adams out. |

Rams | Blake Grupe placed on injured reserve Mon Oct 19, 04:33 PM
The Rams officially need another kicker. Blake Grupe has been placed on injured reserve after he suffered a knee injury while making a tackle on his first kickoff for Los Angeles.

Rams | Blake Grupe leaves stadium on crutches Sun Oct 18, 08:48 PM
The Rams signed PK Blake Grupe to replace Harrison Mevis following his four misses to begin the season. Grupe also replaced punter Ethan Evans on kickoffs, and on his first one, coverage broke down, Grupe went to make a tackle, collided with Arizona's Devin Duvernay, and was removed from the game with a knee injury.
| Footballguys view: After the contest, The Sporting Tribune's Arash Markazi reports that Grupe was using crutches and that his leg is in a brace. In his postgame presser, head coach Sean McVay did not have an update on the injury. "I don't have an update on him," said McVay. "I just know he got his knee." McVay should have more on Monday, but if Grupe is unable to play next week, the team will be on its third kicker in three games. |

Rams | Davante Adams leaves loss with apparent left knee injury, does not return Sun Oct 18, 08:02 PM
Rams WR Davante Adams pulled up in the back of the end zone on the Rams' final drive of Sunday's 18-16 loss to the Cardinals, reached for his left knee, and limped off the field.
| Footballguys view: He did not return, and further specifics of the injury are not yet known. Adams finished with three catches for 39 yards on four targets and has 30 catches for 480 yards and four touchdowns this season. We'll be watching for more on Adams' status as the team begins preparing for a Week 7 game with the Raiders. |

Rams | Kyren Williams on Rams' sputtering offense: 'Probably because I'm not out there' Sun Oct 18, 07:42 PM
Rams RB Kyren Williams, asked after Sunday's 18-16 home loss to the Cardinals why the team couldn't sustain its energy from drive to drive, said: "Can't tell you, bro. Probably because I'm not out there." Williams and RB Blake Corum traded off on a scoring drive against the Bills last week.
| Footballguys view: As ESPN.com's Sarah Barshop pointed out, Williams played 40 offensive snaps to Corum's 16. Williams had 50 rushing yards on 10 carries and 3 catches for 17 yards. Corum had 42 yards on 9 carries and 2 catches for 18 yards and a touchdown. The Rams play the Raiders in Week 7. |

Rams | PK Harrison Mevis released; Blake Grupe signed Tue Oct 13, 03:49 PM
The Rams are releasing kicker Harrison Mevis and signing Blake Grupe off the New York Jets' practice squad, sources told NFL Network's Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo on Tuesday.
| Footballguys view: Mevis missed a 50-yard field goal attempt in the first quarter and had a 48-yard kick blocked in overtime that would have been the winner in Monday night's 37-34 loss to the Bills. After the game, Rams coach Sean McVay said he would "evaluate everything" about the kicking unit. Mevis was 5-for-9 on field goal attempts this season. Grupe started last season with the New Orleans Saints, going 18 of 26 on field goal attempts. After he was cut during the season, he signed with the Indianapolis Colts and made all 11 of his field goal attempts. |

Rams | Davante Adams hits more scoring milestones with 2-TD night Tue Oct 13, 01:35 AM
Rams WR Davante Adams had two red-zone touchdowns, with catches of 4 and 5 yards, in Monday night's overtime loss to the Bills.
| Footballguys view: His fourth-quarter touchdown was his 62nd receiving touchdown inside the 10-yard line. He has the most in NFL history according to ESPN Research, and his 87 receiving touchdowns in the red zone rank as the third most in league history. His 4-yard touchdown in the second quarter was his 96th career touchdown (including playoffs) inside 20 yards, breaking a tie with Hall of Famer Antonio Gates for second all time. Regardless of distance, Adams now has 121 receiving touchdowns in the regular season, which is tied for sixth all time with Hall of Famer Larry Fitzgerald. |

Rams | Stafford throws for 383 yards, three touchdowns in loss to Bills Tue Oct 13, 12:04 AM
Los Angeles Rams QB Matthew Stafford completed 40 of 54 passes for 383 yards with 3 touchdowns in Monday's 37-34 loss to the Buffalo Bills. He was projected for 19.4 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 27.3.
| Footballguys view: Stafford couldn't quite pull out the win, but he still left SoFi Stadium with a historic NFL milestone under his belt. Stafford threw his 150th career touchdown with the Rams in the second half. That made Stafford the first quarterback in NFL history to throw at least 150 touchdown passes with two different franchises. He also finished Week 5 as the QB5 overall. |

Rams | Nacua catches 17 passes for 138 yards, a touchdown in loss to Bills Tue Oct 13, 12:01 AM
Los Angeles Rams WR Puka Nacua ran 2 times for 9 yards and also caught 17 passes for 138 yards and a touchdown on 24 targets in Monday's 37-34 loss to the Buffalo Bills. He was projected for 16.1 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 29.2.
| Footballguys view: Nacua set new career highs in receptions and targets, as well as a team-high figure in receiving yards. As CBSSports.com suggested, Nacua monopolized Matthew Stafford's attention even more than usual, although the one positive for the Bills defense is that it did a solid job keeping Nacua from doing much damage after the catch. The fourth-year pro also recorded his first receiving touchdown of the season. His production Monday nearly made up for his two-game absence earlier in the season. The Rams have a Week 6 divisional home matchup against the Cardinals on Sunday. |

Rams | Puka Nacua feels 'as healthy as I think I can be' ahead of Monday night vs. Bills Sat Oct 10, 10:27 AM
Rams WR Puka Nacua said on Friday that he feels "as healthy as I think I can be" heading into Monday night's game against the Bills. "Feels good to get my feet truly under me," Nacua said, adding that the extra day before a Monday game helped. Nacua returned from injuries that cost him the previous two games to catch nine passes for 125 yards and score a 2-yard rushing touchdown in Sunday's win over the Eagles. "I thought he was at his best in the most important moments," head coach Sean McVay said on Monday.
| Footballguys view: Nacua is not at full strength, but he can still produce at a high level, as evidenced by his return last week. He caught 9-of-12 targets for 125 yards in the Rams' Week 4 win over the Eagles, plus Nacua had a 2-yard rushing touchdown. As per usual, when Nacua is active, he should be considered a WR1. Expect that level of production on Monday night against the Bills. |

Rams | Colby Parkinson a full participant in Friday's practice Fri Oct 9, 06:41 PM
Rams TE Colby Parkinson practiced in full on Friday. Parkinson had been limited in Thursday's practice with a shoulder injury, and head coach Sean McVay said Thursday he expects him to be "ready to go" for Monday's game against the Bills.
| Footballguys view: Parkinson missed last week's game but would likely assume the primary tight end role if he's back this week. Terrance Ferguson is on IR, and Tyler Higbee filled in admirably as the top guy last week, but Parkinson brings a different level to the position, especially near the end zone. In what projects as a high-scoring matchup against the Bills, Parkinson is a viable touchdown-dependent streamer. |

Rams | Myles Garrett 'making really good progress,' timeline update expected Thursday Tue Oct 6, 10:34 AM

We haven't talked specifics like that." McVay said he will review Garrett's rehab with Reggie Scott, who runs the team's sports medicine department, and will "probably be better equipped to give you some clarity about that on Thursday." Garrett struggled to play through the knee injury in Week 1 and has not played since. |

Rams | Puka Nacua has a 'pre-hernia', didn't slow him down in Week 4 Mon Oct 5, 09:34 AM
Rams WR Puka Nacua has a "pre-hernia," Fox Sports' Erin Andrews reported during Sunday's game against the Eagles, meaning there is a weakness in the muscle wall in his hip/groin area that has not yet become a hernia.
| Footballguys view: This is a situation worth watching. Nacua had "core muscle" issues during training camp and then a hip/groin problem that cost him two games; head coach Sean McVay recently acknowledged that Nacua does not have a hernia but that "some of the things can be like pre-hernia." Nonetheless, Nacua returned on Sunday and caught nine passes for 125 yards. We're playing him without reservation as long as he's available. |

Rams | Konata Mumpfield played through shoulder issue Mon Oct 5, 12:29 AM
WR Konata Mumpfield went down hard while attempting to make a diving catch in the second quarter of Sunday's win over the Eagles, landing on his left arm. He was shaken up on the play and examined by trainers on the sidelines. Mumpfield was taken to the locker room for further evaluation.
| Footballguys view: Although he was initially designated as questionable to return with a shoulder injury, Mumpfield was back on the field in the third quarter. With Puka Nacua back from his groin/hip injury and working at full capacity, Mumpfield finished the game with one catch for seven yards. His fantasy value will remain limited as long as Nacua is healthy. |

Rams | Williams runs for 80 yards, two TDs, 67 receiving in win over Eagles Sun Oct 4, 04:32 PM
Los Angeles Rams RB Kyren Williams ran 16 times for 80 yards and two touchdowns and also caught 10 passes for 67 yards on 13 targets in Sunday's 24-20 win over the Philadelphia Eagles. He was projected for 15.0 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 31.7.
| Footballguys view: Williams drew a personal foul when he got walloped by Cooper DeJean after going airborne out of bounds in the fourth quarter with the Rams down multiple scores. He took over after that and would not be denied with the ball in his hands, scoring both touchdowns in the last five minutes that put the Rams over the top. He is leaving Blake Corum in the driveway as Williams was the heart of this team in a signature road win. Congrats if you took him in the third round. |

Los Angeles Rams WR Puka Nacua ran 1 time for 2 yards and a touchdown and also caught 9 passes for 125 yards on 12 targets in Sunday's 24-20 win over the Philadelphia Eagles. He was projected for 13.5 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 23.2.
| Footballguys view: If Nacua is playing at less than 100%, you couldn't tell from his fantasy output against a physical Eagles secondary. He should have a very high ceiling against the Bills in Week 5 and as long as he stays healthy, Nacua will be worth the top-five pick it took to draft him despite missing two of the first three games of the season. |

Los Angeles Rams QB Matthew Stafford completed 32 of 51 passes for 317 yards and 2 interceptions in Sunday's 24-20 win over the Philadelphia Eagles. He was projected for 17.7 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 11.7.
| Footballguys view: The Eagles defense was putting together a statement game until the Rams stopped Philadelphia at the goal line down 20-10 halfway through the fourth quarter. Stafford made the throws and Kyren Williams was unstoppable on two late drives to get the Rams a hard-fought road win. Stafford should still be in fantasy lineups even after this dud, because he faces the Bills soft pass defense in Week 5 with a Monday night big stage. |

Tom Pelissero, from the Ringer, reports Los Angeles Rams WR Puka Nacua (groin) may be on "stricter snap count than usual" in Week 4 against the Eagles.
| Footballguys view: As we've reported, there is some uneasiness about his fantasy value this week as we're not sure how strict Nacua's snap count will be. However, if Nacua is out there (and Sean McVay says Nacua is "good to go") Fantasy GMs are likely to start him regardless of the questions about his status. |

TE Colby Parkinson has not practiced this week and is questionable for Sunday's game at the Eagles. Rookie TE Max Klare, a healthy scratch every week so far, is probably going to make his NFL debut in the wake of the injuries at tight end. |

Rams TE Colby Parkinson (knee/shoulder) will not practice on Friday and will be listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Eagles, head coach Sean McVay said. Parkinson also sat out practice on Thursday.
| Footballguys view: Parkinson hasn't practiced all week, which would typically lead to an inactive status. With Terrance Ferguson also expected to be out, the Rams are likely to be down their top two tight ends. Last week, as the primary tight end, Tyler Higbee caught eight of his 11 targets for 62 yards and a touchdown. If Parkinson and Ferguson are both out, Higbee moves firmly into the streaming discussion. |

Rams | Puka Nacua 'good to go' for Sunday against Eagles Fri Oct 2, 02:32 PM
Rams WR Puka Nacua is "good to go" for Sunday's game against the Eagles, head coach Sean McVay said on Friday. Nacua had been dealing with a hip injury this week.
| Footballguys view: Sarah Barshop added that "the Rams are still working through how they will navigate his snap count," leaving some uneasiness about his Week 4 outlook. Nacua missed last week's game with a hip injury, and rumors began to swirl. "Soft suspensions," "contract disputes," and "pre-hernia" speculation have circulated on social media, but the Rams have been pretty tight-lipped about the details of his absence. If he's active, it's hard to imagine anyone benching Nacua. He's one of the league's most dominant players and has played through injuries successfully many times in his young career. In this situation, it's probably best to ignore the noise and listen to what the team is telling us. If he's "good to go," per Sean McVay, start him. |
