Davis Allen Davis Allen Sees reduction in playing time
Mon, Oct 13, 2025, 3:55 PM
Allen secured one of two targets for seven yards during Sunday's 17-3 victory against the Ravens.
Analysis: Tyler Higbee regained his role as the Rams' top tight end after missing Week 5 with a hip injury, and produced a solid 4-40-1 line on his four targets. Allen only took the field for 21 snaps on offense, slightly more than Terrance Ferguson, who wasn't targeted in the contest. Higbee will likely remain the top option for the Rams at tight end, leaving Allen, Ferguson, and Colby Parkinson (concussion) fighting for playing time in London against the Jaguars in Week 7. |

Jordan Whittington Jordan Whittington Season-high three catches
Mon, Oct 13, 2025, 2:35 PM
Whittington secured three of four targets for 33 yards during Sunday's 17-3 victory against the Ravens.
Analysis: In the wake of Puka Nacua (ankle) missing a considerable portion of the contest due to an ankle sprain, it was the second-year pro Whittington who saw the biggest uptick in play time, leading all Rams' wide receivers with 49 snaps on offense. The expanded stint on the field only led to a small uptick in Whittington's stat line, although he did set season-highs in catches and targets. If Nacua were to miss any time with his injury, it appears as though Whittington is most likely to step in alongside Davante Adams and assume a larger role, especially if Tutu Atwell (hamstring) isn't 100 percent next week against the Jaguars. |

Tutu Atwell Tutu Atwell Optimism for Week 7
Mon, Oct 13, 2025, 11:07 AM
Rams coach Sean McVay said Monday that Atwell (hamstring) is expected to return to action Week 7 against the Jaguars, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Atwell missed Sunday's 17-3 win over Baltimore due to a hamstring issue, but in the two games prior he totaled a 3-160-1 receiving line on six targets. With star wideout Puka Nacua (ankle) considered day-to-day and uncertain to face Jacksonville, it would be a notable boost for Matthew Stafford and Los Angeles' passing offense to get a field-stretcher as capable as Atwell back in the lineup. |

Blake Corum Blake Corum Ankle injury lingers
Mon, Oct 13, 2025, 10:43 AM
Rams coach Sean McVay said Monday that Corum (ankle) is day-to-day despite having been cleared to retake the field during Sunday's 17-3 win over Baltimore, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.
Analysis: Corum briefly exited Sunday's win in the second quarter due to an ankle injury and was initially labeled as questionable, but he managed to return to action after halftime and finish the day with five carries for 23 yards. Only one of those carries came after his return, however. The second-year pro doesn't have clean bill of health yet, but the fact that he was able to return versus the Ravens lends credence to the notion that he'll be able to play in Week 7 against the Jaguars and handle his usual No. 2 role behind Kyren Williams. Rookie fourth-rounder Jarquez Hunter would benefit from increased opportunities if Corum were to miss any time. |

Puka Nacua Puka Nacua Called day-to-day by coach
Mon, Oct 13, 2025, 10:39 AM
Rams coach Sean McVay said Monday that Nacua (ankle) is "day-to-day," Tyler Dragon of USA Today reports.
Analysis: The star wideout suffered a left ankle sprain during Sunday's 17-3 win at Baltimore, and Nacua being described as day-to-day is a touch more optimistic than a report from Ian Rapoport of NFL Network that suggested he's set to miss time. Nacua's status appears uncertain at best for Los Angeles' road matchup against the Jaguars in Week 7, and a Week 8 bye could nudge the team in the direction of caution. McVay has not ruled Nacua out yet versus Jacksonville, Dragon confirms, so final clarity on his status likely won't arrive until the Rams have had a chance to evaluate him at practice. Stu Jackson of the team's official site reports that scans have indicated Nacua isn't dealing with a long-term injury. |

Puka Nacua Puka Nacua Expected to miss time
Mon, Oct 13, 2025, 9:18 AM
Nacua (ankle) is expected to miss time due to the left ankle sprain he sustained during Sunday's 17-3 win at Baltimore, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Nacua was secured two of three targets for 28 yards before being forced out of Sunday's win over the Ravens early in the second quarter, and while he was able to return to the road matchup after halftime, he didn't record any further offensive statistics. The star wideout appears to be trending in the wrong direction to suit up against the Jaguars in London in Week 7, after which the Rams will benefit from a Week 8 bye. If Nacua indeed misses any time Davante Adams will step into the spotlight as Los Angeles' clear No. 1 wideout, while Jordan Whittington, Tutu Atwell (hamstring) and tight end Tyler Higbee could all inherit expanded roles. |

Davante Adams Davante Adams Struggles in win
Sun, Oct 12, 2025, 8:14 PM
Adams recorded four receptions on nine targets for 39 yards in Sunday's 17-3 win over the Ravens.
Analysis: Adams served as the Rams' top pass-catcher for most of the game with Puka Nacua (ankle) briefly sidelined and then playing at less than full strength for most of the game. Adams led the team with nine targets, but he converted that into his lowest yardage total of the season. Touchdowns have masked his underwhelming stat lines through the first seven games of the season, as Adams has now been held under 60 receiving yards in four of six contests. |

Matthew Stafford Matthew Stafford Limited volume in win
Sun, Oct 12, 2025, 8:04 PM
Stafford completed 17 of 26 passes for 181 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions in Sunday's 17-3 win over the Ravens. He also fumbled twice, losing one.
Analysis: Stafford had a fairly efficient performance, but it was a tough day for the Rams' offense as a whole. They possessed the ball for only 22:05 while also running their offense with a hobbled Puka Nacua (ankle) for nearly three-quarters of the contest. As a result, Stafford failed to throw for multiple touchdowns for the first time since Week 1 and also turned in his lowest yardage total of the season. His outlook for Week 7 against the Jaguars will depend relatively heavily on Nacua's availability. |

Kyren Williams Kyren Williams Scores another touchdown
Sun, Oct 12, 2025, 3:57 PM
Williams rushed the ball 13 times for 50 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 17-3 win over the Ravens. He added two receptions on two targets for 37 yards.
Analysis: The Rams possessed the ball for only 22:05 of game time while averaging only 4.7 yards per play. That led to modest stat lines for the entire skills corps, though Williams was on the better end of things thanks to a three-yard touchdown run early in the third quarter. One play earlier, he made a falling 30-yard reception on fourth down that kept the drive alive. Overall, Williams delivered a well-rounded stat line and also kept the ball secure after losing a fumble in each of his last two games. |

Puka Nacua Puka Nacua Week 7 status up in air
Sun, Oct 12, 2025, 3:33 PM
Coach Sean McVay said Nacua suffered an ankle injury during Sunday's 17-3 win at Baltimore, and the wide receiver's status for next Sunday's game against the Jaguars in London is unknown, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Nacua initially sustained the injury with about 10 minutes left in the second quarter after he had his left foot rolled up on while attempting to break up a jump ball in the end zone. After going to the locker room, the Rams deemed him questionable to return, but he was able to check back in on the team's second possession after halftime. However, Nacua wasn't able to add to his first-half line (2-28-0 on three targets) after his return. L.A. will resume practicing Wednesday, by which point the Rams could have more clarity on the nature and severity of Nacua's ankle issue. |

Puka Nacua Puka Nacua Checks back into Sunday's game
Sun, Oct 12, 2025, 1:58 PM
Nacua (foot) re-entered Sunday's game against the Ravens in the third quarter, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: After injuring his left foot on an incomplete Matthew Stafford pass attempt with 10:02 remaining in the second quarter, Nacua headed to the locker room and was deemed questionable to return. He was back on the sideline late in the second quarter but didn't play before halftime, then remained on the sideline for the Rams' first possession of the third quarter while he continued to test out his foot by running routes, per Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register. After his foot apparently responded well to the running workout, Nacua was back on the field for the second possession of the third quarter. Though he wasn't targeted on either of the Rams' two plays on the drive that culminated in a Tyler Higbee touchdown reception, Nacua looks like he'll be able to finish out Sunday's contest. |

Blake Corum Blake Corum Cleared for second half
Sun, Oct 12, 2025, 1:53 PM
Corum (ankle) was cleared to return to Sunday's game against the Ravens to begin the second half, Erin Andrew of Fox Sports reports.
Analysis: Though he didn't log a carry or draw a target on the Rams' first possession to begin the third quarter that culminated in a Kyren Williams three-yard touchdown run, Corum looks like he's available to play through the ankle injury that forced him to the locker room in the second quarter. Prior to leaving the sideline to receive treatment, Corum carried four times for 14 yards in the first half. |

Blake Corum Blake Corum Exits game with ankle injury
Sun, Oct 12, 2025, 1:03 PM
Corum is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Ravens due to an ankle injury.
Analysis: Corum was taken to the locker room in the second quarter after sustaining the injury, though it's unclear when he got hurt. The second-year player had carried four times for 14 yards prior to exiting the contest. If Corum is ruled out for the remainder of the game, rookie fourth-round Jarquez Hunter would be next up for backup snaps behind starting running back Kyren Williams. |

Puka Nacua Puka Nacua Exits with foot injury Sunday
Sun, Oct 12, 2025, 1:02 PM
Nacua exited Sunday's game at Baltimore due to a foot injury, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.
Analysis: Nacua appeared to have his left foot rolled up on as he attempted to break up a jump ball in the end zone in the second quarter. He then went to the locker room, after which the team announced that he was questionable to return. Nacua gathered in two of three targets for 28 yards before his departure. |

Colby Parkinson Colby Parkinson Not playing vs. Baltimore
Sun, Oct 12, 2025, 10:57 AM
Parkinson (concussion) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Ravens.
Analysis: Parkinson cleared the league's concussion protocol and was given the questionable tag for Week 6, per Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register. Parkinson is not quite ready to return, so he'll observe Sunday's game in street clothes while Davis Allen and Terrance Ferguson serve as the Rams' depth tight ends behind Tyler Higbee. Parkinson's next opportunity to play is Week 7 against the Jaguars on Sunday, Oct. 19. |

Tutu Atwell Tutu Atwell Sidelined by hamstring injury
Sun, Oct 12, 2025, 10:46 AM
Atwell (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's game at Baltimore, Nate Atkins of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Atwell pulled his hamstring during practice Thursday and was added to the injury report the same day. He was able to turn in a limited session Friday, but that apparently isn't enough for him to suit up in Week 6. Jordan Whittington could benefit from a few additional targets against the Ravens, but the Rams' passing offense will continue to be highly concentrated between Puka Nacua and Davante Adams. |

Tyler Higbee Tyler Higbee Cleared to face Ravens
Fri, Oct 10, 2025, 3:36 PM
Higbee (hip) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game at Baltimore, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.
Analysis: Higbee missed Week 5 and didn't practice Wednesday, but he returned Thursday as a limited participant before upgrading to full Friday. He had just 11 targets on 86 routes over the first four weeks of the season. |

Tutu Atwell Tutu Atwell Questionable for Sunday
Fri, Oct 10, 2025, 2:06 PM
Atwell (hamstring) will be listed as questionable for Sunday's game at Baltimore, Nate Atkins of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: The Rams added Atwell to their injury report Thursday, marking him as a limited participant. An absence Sunday in Baltimore would leave more playing time for WR Jordan Whittington. |
|
Colby Parkinson Colby Parkinson Clears protocol but questionable
Fri, Oct 10, 2025, 1:27 PM
Parkinson (concussion) has cleared concussion protocol but will be listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Ravens, Rams coach Sean McVay said Friday, Adam Grosbard of the LA Daily News reports.
Analysis: Parkinson is eligible to suit up Sunday after clearing concussion protocol, but the team will continue to monitor his status to ensure Parkinson doesn't suffer a setback. Even if Parkinson plays, his role in the passing game will likely be limited as part of a crowded Rams tight end room that includes Tyler Higbee (hip), Davis Allen and Terrance Ferguson. |

Colby Parkinson Colby Parkinson Remains limited Thursday
Thu, Oct 9, 2025, 7:55 PM
Parkinson (concussion) remained limited in Thursday's practice, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.
Analysis: Parkinson picked up the concussion in last Thursday night's loss to the 49ers. If neither Parkinson nor Tyler Higbee (hip) can play Sunday against the Ravens, Davis Allen and Terrance Ferguson would handle tight-end duties for Los Angeles. |
