Aaron Donald is ruled out for the Los Angeles Rams’ Week 4 game against the Philadelphia Eagles due to back soreness/injury, according to multiple outlets. The Rams’ defense loses their star defensive tackle for Sunday’s matchup.
At the same time, the reports say the Rams receive positive news on the offensive side: Puka Nacua is expected to return for the game after previously dealing with a hip injury. CBS and Yahoo specifically describe Donald missing a second game of the season and note that Nacua’s status is improving.
Other coverage also emphasizes that both teams may not be at full strength. Fox Sports reports that DeVonta Smith’s status is unclear, while Fox News quotes or paraphrases Rams coach Sean McVay describing the decision to protect Donald. Overall, outlets align on Donald’s absence and Nacua’s anticipated return, with additional injury updates varying by source.
