Overview
- The Los Angeles Rams play the Philadelphia Eagles at Lincoln Financial Field at 1 p.m. ET on Sunday, Oct. 4, and the game is broadcast nationally on FOX with streaming on NFL+ and services that carry FOX.
- Los Angeles (1-2) will be without defensive tackle Aaron Donald because of a back issue while receiver Puka Nacua is cleared to return, and Philadelphia (2-1) will be missing wideout DeVonta Smith.
- Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts was evaluated for a concussion in Week 3, was cleared to play, and is expected to start this home game.
- Both teams enter trying to rebound from primetime losses last week — Philadelphia lost 27-7 at Chicago and the Rams fell 30-26 at Denver — leaving this matchup as an early test for their NFC hopes.
- Sportsbooks list the Rams as about a 3-point favorite with totals in the low-to-mid 40s, and the combination of Donald’s absence and Nacua’s return is likely to affect pass-rush matchups, play-calling, and short-term tiebreaker value between the clubs.
