Rams Hopeful CB Trent McDuffie Might Return vs. Chargers but Could Be without Key Offensive Players
Trent McDuffie is questionable after a groin injury, while four other Rams starters could miss the game, including Davante Adams and Joe Cardona.
- On Sunday, the Los Angeles Rams may see cornerback Trent McDuffie return for their home game against the Chargers after missing two games with a groin injury. McDuffie has recorded 16 tackles and seven passes defended through five games.
- Injury concerns plague the Rams' roster, with center Coleman Shelton, tight end Colby Parkinson, and long snapper Joe Cardona all listed as questionable for the matchup. Shelton's hip injury jeopardizes his 67-consecutive-start streak.
- If the eight-year veteran cannot play, Dylan McMahon would likely make his first meaningful NFL start. McMahon's only previous start came during the 2025 regular season finale when playoff seeding was already determined.
- The team faces offensive challenges with wide receiver Davante Adams out following hamstring surgery requiring extended absence. Wide receiver Jordan Whittington, a key run-blocking receiver, is dealing with back tightness.
- To bolster depth, the Rams signed veteran Jake McQuaide to the practice squad on Wednesday as a fallback option. His addition provides necessary reinforcement as Los Angeles navigates a roster depleted by injuries.
