Puka Nacua Out, Colby Parkinson Active for Rams vs. Broncos

Rams activated Parkinson to protect tight end depth while resting Nacua for a hip/groin issue, forcing a rework of the team's passing plan.

Overview

  • The Rams' official inactive list for the game includes wide receiver Puka Nacua and safety Kamren Kinchens as out and unavailable to play.
  • Tight end Colby Parkinson, listed questionable after missing practice with a knee issue, is active and will suit up tonight to provide positional depth.
  • Five other Rams — Ty Simpson, CJ Daniels, Tutu Atwell, Maximus Pulley and Bill Murray — were designated healthy scratches on the inactive list.
  • The Broncos will be without running back Jonah Coleman and returner wide receiver Marvin Mims Jr., leaving Denver short at kick and punt returner duties.
  • Nacua has been held out for rest because of hip/groin soreness and the team declined to confirm an outside sports-hernia suggestion, so his absence reshapes how the Rams will distribute targets and protect short-term player health.
