Aaron Donald Out, Puka Nacua Returns for Rams’ Game Against Eagles on Sunday – WTOP News

  • Head coach Sean McVay officially ruled defensive tackle Aaron Donald out for Sunday's game against the Philadelphia Eagles due to a sore back, while wide receiver Puka Nacua returned to limited practice Wednesday.
  • Nacua missed the last two games with hip and groin injuries after hurting himself in practice on September 17, while the 1-2 Rams remain without defensive end Myles Garrett, sidelined by knee surgery.
  • Donald, a three-time AP Defensive Player of the Year who ended a two-season retirement this summer, recorded four tackles and one quarterback hit in two games before the injury setback.
  • McVay said he was "excited" to have Nacua back, calling him a "huge part of our offense." The team will call up practice squad wide receiver Alex Bachman after waiving return specialist Xavier Smith.
  • The Rams also ruled out tight end Terrance Ferguson and cornerback Jaylen Watson for Sunday, with tight end Colby Parkinson listed as questionable. Safety Kamren Kinchens will participate in limited capacity as the team prepares for Philadelphia.
