Overview

  • Alec Pierce remained in the NFL’s concussion protocol after back-to-back DNPs, putting his Week 4 status in doubt following what Fox59 reported as his third concussion in four seasons.
  • Kenny Moore II missed practice with an Achilles injury that further testing identified, and Shane Steichen said an injured reserve move is not planned right now as the team added CB Mike Hilton to the practice squad for depth.
  • DeForest Buckner returned as a limited participant Thursday after a back-related DNP, while RG Matt Goncalves missed a second practice with a toe injury and RT Braden Smith was limited with a heel issue.
  • Davante Adams (hamstring) and Rob Havenstein (ankle) missed Wednesday and Thursday for the Rams, with Sean McVay describing their status as day-to-day and expressing optimism about their chances to play.
  • Starting LG Steve Avila was limited as he works back from an ankle injury that sidelined him the past two games, leaving Los Angeles monitoring multiple starters as 3-0 Indianapolis visits 2-1 LA on Sunday.
