Overview

• Coach Shane Steichen ruled WR Alec Pierce (concussion), RG Matt Goncalves (toe) and CB Kenny Moore II (Achilles) out for Sunday’s game at the Rams.
• Adonai Mitchell is expected to absorb Pierce’s snaps, Dalton Tucker will start at right guard, and veteran Mike Hilton will be elevated to cover the slot.
• The 3-0 Colts have ridden Daniel Jones’ clean start (3 passing TDs, 0 INTs; 3 rushing TDs) and NFL rushing leader Jonathan Taylor.
• The Rams enter with top-five yards-per-play figures on offense and defense, with Matthew Stafford featuring league-leading receiver Puka Nacua.
• Special teams could swing a close game after Los Angeles had three field goals blocked in two weeks, even as its knuckling kickoffs have created field-position advantages.
