Overview
- Trent McDuffie returned from a recent groin absence to lead the Rams with nine tackles and an interception in the 24-9 victory over the Chargers before suffering a back injury on a third-quarter tackle.
- McDuffie limped to the locker room for evaluation, was listed as questionable for the remainder of the game, then returned to the sideline and completed a postgame interview.
- McDuffie told Sports Central LA he was “feeling good,” and coach Sean McVay said he had no firm update but that McDuffie “looks like he’s feeling OK.”
- Fellow starter Jaylen Watson left the game with a shoulder injury and was ruled out, creating immediate depth concerns in the Rams’ cornerback group.
- The Rams have a full week before their next game to assess McDuffie’s status, and the team may need to adjust cornerback snaps or the game plan if he cannot play.
