Injuries Playing A Major Role
The biggest name on the injury report that could impact the Rams' odds is Puka Nacua. Nacua is dealing with a groin injury and trending in the wrong direction toward missing the primetime matchup. Rams head coach Sean McVay chimed in, noting that he is not making progress towards playing.
“He's not making great progress. But we'll welcome Puka back with open arms, but if not, I've got a ton of confidence in the group that we will go with if he doesn't go.”
For the Broncos, it’s the running back room that could take the biggest hit. J.K. Dobbins, RJ Harvey, and Jonah Coleman are all questionable. However, it’s worth noting that out of Thursday’s injury report, both Dobbins and Harvey were full participants while Coleman did not practice for a second straight day.
No Puka, No Problem For The Rams
Nacua missed Week 2 against the New York Giants, and the Rams offense remained a force, scoring 28 points with Davante Adams leading the charge. Adams went for 195 yards and two touchdowns on eight receptions. Adams continuing to put up elite numbers without Puka is what’s holding up the Rams odds.
Matthew Stafford was all over the place, feeding the ball to eight different receivers and throwing four passing touchdowns.
