The Rams are navigating a banged-up roster entering a pivotal Sunday game at Philadelphia, with five players sitting out Wednesday's practice.
Defensive tackle Aaron Donald skipped the session with a sore back, which also kept him out a day earlier. Cornerback Jaylen Watson, who dislocated his shoulder in Week 3, did not practice, and tight ends Colby Parkinson (knee/shoulder) and Terrance Ferguson (ankle) were also absent. Receiver Davante Adams took a rest day after appearing to pull up at the end of a long catch-and-run against Denver, though the team listed no calf or hamstring injury for him.
Receiver Puka Nacua was officially limited on the report, with what the team continues to list as a hip injury.
The 1-2 Rams face the 2-1 Eagles in Philadelphia, then host the 3-0 Bills on Monday night to close Week 5. Getting Donald and Watson healthy — and keeping the receiver room intact — looms large over that two-game stretch.
