Overview

  • The Week 4 game is set for Sunday, Oct. 4 at 1:00 p.m. ET at Lincoln Financial Field and will air on Fox with streaming on NFL+ and international services.
  • Philadelphia enters with a thin receiving corps after DeVonta Smith was labeled unlikely to play and other pass-catchers and tight ends listed doubtful or out, forcing rookie and depth players into larger roles.
  • Following Monday night’s 27–7 loss to the Chicago Bears, reporters flagged rising concerns about Jalen Hurts’ protection after multiple sacks and a disconnected passing attack.
  • The Rams expect Puka Nacua to return to the lineup to pair with Davante Adams, a boost to Matthew Stafford’s passing game, though at least one report says defensive star Aaron Donald is out with a back issue.
  • Previews and betting pieces favor the Rams in predictions and point spreads, and a Rams loss could leave Los Angeles trailing a 3-0 San Francisco in the NFC West while an Eagles defeat would deepen scrutiny of their early-season form.
