Not expected to play Sunday
Fri, Sep 25, 2026, 7:00 PM
Kinchens (hamstring) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against Denver, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Kinchens was limited during Friday's practice, working off to the side. He now appears to be heading toward a second consecutive absence, meaning Josh Wallace could continue to benefit by receiving more playing time. |

Available to play Sunday
Fri, Sep 25, 2026, 6:47 PM
Landman (shoulder) does not carry an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Broncos, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Landman tied for a team-high seven tackles in Monday's 28-6 victory over the Giants. He was limited in practice throughout the week because of a shoulder injury, though that doesn't appear to be enough to keep him off the field in Week 3. |

Jordan Whittington Jordan Whittington No injury designation for Week 3
Fri, Sep 25, 2026, 6:41 PM
Whittington (quadriceps) does not carry an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game versus Denver, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Whittington wasn't available for Monday's 28-6 win over the Giants. He didn't practice Wednesday to begin the week. However, head coach Sean McVay indicated the wideout would be available in Week 3, so his full participation in Friday's practice and omission from the injury report isn't a surprise. With Puka Nacua (hip) doubtful, Whittington could be in line for a more prominent role alongside Davante Adams. |

Colby Parkinson Colby Parkinson Status in question for Week 3
Fri, Sep 25, 2026, 4:17 PM
Parkinson (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's contest at Denver, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Parkinson officially went down as a non-participant on all three of the Rams' Week 3 injury reports due to a knee issue, but coach Sean McVay told Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register that the tight end was going to take part in Friday's jog-through and was "trending in the right direction" ahead of Sunday's matchup. Ultimately, Parkinson's status will be confirmed about 90 minutes before an 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff, but even if he's available he may not be able to handle the 70-plus percent snap share he handled in both of L.A.'s first two games of the campaign. |

Puka Nacua Puka Nacua Doubtful to play in Week 3
Fri, Sep 25, 2026, 1:15 PM
Coach Sean McVay said Friday that Nacua (hip) will be listed as doubtful for Sunday's game at Denver, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.
Analysis: Nacua thus is poised to miss a second consecutive contest due to a hip injury, but McVay relayed to Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com that if the wide receiver isn't able to play this weekend, he likely will be back for a Week 4 road matchup with the Eagles on Sunday, Oct. 4, barring a setback. Assuming Nacua is inactive this Sunday, the Rams will roll with WR Davante Adams as their top pass catcher, with a smattering of wide receivers and tight ends also available to QB Matthew Stafford. |

Upgrades to full participation
Thu, Sep 24, 2026, 10:36 PM
Jackson (knee) was a full participant in practice Thursday.
Analysis: The starting left tackle was limited Wednesday. Jackson appears on track to play Sunday night against the Broncos. |

Jordan Whittington Jordan Whittington Practices Thursday
Thu, Sep 24, 2026, 10:04 PM
Whittington (quadriceps) was a limited participant in practice Thursday, Nate Atkins of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Whittington sustained the quad injury in Week 1 against the 49ers and hadn't practiced since that game before Thursday. Now, he's trending in the right direction as Sunday night's showdown with Denver approaches. Whittington caught one pass for eight yards on the 25 offensive snaps he played in the Rams' season opener. |

Colby Parkinson Colby Parkinson Does not participate in practice
Thu, Sep 24, 2026, 9:57 PM
Parkinson (knee) did not participate in practice Thursday, Nate Atkins of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: The tight end also had to miss Wednesday's walkthrough. Parkinson played on 77 percent of the offensive snaps in Week 1 and 71 percent in Week 2, but now he appears to be in jeopardy of missing the Rams' Week 3 matchup with the Broncos. Fellow tight end Terrance Ferguson (ankle) upgraded to full participation Thursday after being limited Wednesday, and Davis Allen, Tyler Higbee and Max Klare are also healthy options at the position. |

Terrance Ferguson Terrance Ferguson Full practice Thursday
Thu, Sep 24, 2026, 6:47 PM
Ferguson (ankle) practiced fully Thursday, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Ferguson kicked off Week 3 prep with a limited session Wednesday due to an ankle injury, but his ability log every on-field rep one day later indicates that the issue was a minor one. With his health now not in question, there's a decent chance he'll again serve as the No. 2 option in the passing game behind Davante Adams this Sunday at Denver due to Puka Nacua's ongoing absence from practice as a result of a hip injury. In such a capacity during Monday's 28-6 win against the Giants, Ferguson went for six catches (on nine targets) for 54 yards and one touchdown. |

Puka Nacua Puka Nacua Remains sidelined at practice
Thu, Sep 24, 2026, 6:22 PM
Nacua (hip) didn't take part in Thursday's practice, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Nacua now hasn't practiced for the past week due to a hip injury, though head coach Sean McVay has alternatively called the issue "soreness in his groin." Ian Rapoport of NFL Network even reported Thursday morning that Nacua didn't seem to be making much progress in his recovery from the concern, leaving his status up in the air for Sunday's game at Denver. Nacua will have one more chance to mix into drills Friday, after which the Rams could make a ruling on his availability for Week 3. If Nacua isn't able to suit up this weekend, Davante Adams again will be the unquestioned top pass catcher for QB Matthew Stafford. |

Puka Nacua Puka Nacua Week 3 availability in doubt
Thu, Sep 24, 2026, 9:22 AM
Nacua, who was listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's estimated practice report, doesn't appear to be making much progress in his recovery from a groin injury and could be trending toward a second consecutive absence Sunday against the Broncos, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: The Rams are taking a cautious approach with the star wide receiver, whom head coach Sean McVay noted Wednesday isn't dealing with a hernia and isn't facing a long-term absence, per Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com. Nacua's participation level will bear monitoring when the Rams hold practice Thursday, but at this point in the week, the wideout may sit out that session, as well as the Rams' next game Sunday. While Nacua was sidelined for the Rams' 28-6 win over the Giants on Monday, Davante Adams moved into the No. 1 wideout role and stepped up with 195 receiving yards and two touchdowns. |

Misses practice Wednesday
Wed, Sep 23, 2026, 8:25 PM
Kinchens (hamstring) did not participate in Wednesday's estimated practice session, Nate Atkins of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Kinchens has not practiced since sustaining a hamstring injury in the Rams' Week 1 loss to the 49ers. The starting free safety does not appear to have progressed significantly in his recovery since last week's string of DNPs. Unless Kinchen can upgrade his practice participation to at least limited by Friday, he will likely be sidelined for Sunday's game against the Broncos. |
|
Limited with shoulder injury
Wed, Sep 23, 2026, 8:21 PM
Landman (shoulder) was a limited participant in Wednesday's estimated practice, Nate Atkins of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Landman logged limited sessions in the lead-up to the Rams' Week 2 win over the Giants. The linebacker was able to play through a shoulder injury in the contest, logging seven tackles (three solo) over 49 defensive snaps. Landman is set to undergo a similar process in Week 3 and will likely remain limited all week before avoiding an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Broncos anyway. |

Jordan Whittington Jordan Whittington Doesn't practice Wednesday
Wed, Sep 23, 2026, 8:14 PM
Whittington (quadriceps) did not participate in Wednesday's practice, Nate Atkins of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Whittington has failed to practice since sustaining a quadriceps injury during the Rams' Week 1 loss to the 49ers. The wide receiver has missed four consecutive practices and appears no closer to suiting up for the team's Week 3 showdown with the Broncos on Sunday. |

Ronnie Rivers Ronnie Rivers Goes to IR
Wed, Sep 23, 2026, 7:22 PM
The Rams placed Rivers (calf) on their injured reserve list Wednesday.
Analysis: Per Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site, coach Sean McVay said Wednesday that Rivers' calf injury is expected to keep him sidelined for 4-to-6 weeks. McVay also said the team plans to elevate either undrafted rookie Dean Connors or Jordan Waters from its practice squad for Sunday's game at Denver. |

Colby Parkinson Colby Parkinson Misses Wednesday's walkthrough
Wed, Sep 23, 2026, 6:39 PM
Parkinson didn't participate in Wednesday's walkthrough due to a knee injury, Nate Atkins of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Parkinson has paced the Rams' TE group in snap share through two games this season, earning 77 percent in Week 1 and 71 percent in Week 2, but he has just three catches (on four targets) for 21 yards to date. With no practice reps to begin Week 3 prep, his status now will be monitored to get a sense of his odds to play Sunday in Denver. Meanwhile, fellow TE Terrance Ferguson (ankle) was limited Wednesday, leaving Davis Allen, Tyler Higbee and rookie Max Klare as the current healthy options at the position. |

Terrance Ferguson Terrance Ferguson Tending to ankle issue
Wed, Sep 23, 2026, 5:05 PM
Ferguson was limited at Wednesday's walkthrough due to an ankle injury, Nate Atkins of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Ferguson earned a 51 percent snap share during a Week 1 loss to the 49ers in Melbourne, Australia, but didn't haul in his only target. With Puka Nacua (groin) inactive Monday versus the Giants, Ferguson played second fiddle to WR Davante Adams (8-195-2 on 10 targets), hauling in six of nine targets for 54 yards and one touchdown. Nacua remained sidelined Wednesday, and if he requires more time to recover, Ferguson could be among QB Matthew Stafford's favored pass catchers this Sunday at Denver, assuming the tight end's own ankle issue doesn't impact his availability. |

Puka Nacua Puka Nacua Sits out Wednesday practice
Wed, Sep 23, 2026, 4:27 PM
Nacua (groin) will not practice Wednesday, but head coach Sean McVay indicated he could practice later this week, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.
Analysis: Nacua sat out the final two practice sessions the Rams held prior to Monday's victory over the Giants and ultimately missed Week 2, and he remained unavailable Wednesday. If Nacua is able to get some work in for either or both of the next two days as McVay hopes, he has a chance to return to the field in Week 3. |

Logs four tackles in MNF win
Tue, Sep 22, 2026, 8:26 PM
Curl recorded four tackles (four solo) and a pass breakup in Monday night's win over the Giants.
Analysis: Curl dealt with an ankle injury during the week but ultimately didn't carry an injury designation into Week 2 against New York. He ended up playing all 58 defensive snaps and now has seven tackles (five solo) and the one pass breakup through two contests to begin the season. |

Stuffs stat sheet Monday night
Tue, Sep 22, 2026, 8:19 PM
Lake recorded seven tackles (six solo), three pass breakups and a forced fumble in Monday night's 28-6 win over the Giants.
Analysis: With the Giants forced to pass much of the night, there were plenty of opportunities to make plays on the ball in the air for the Rams. Lake has now posted back-to-back games of three pass breakups, and he's logged 17 tackles (13 solo) with one interception. |
