The Los Angeles Rams stayed in Baltimore and held practices at the Baltimore Orioles’ Camden Yards on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday to prepare for Sunday’s exciting international game. They will soon fly out to London on Friday night. The Rams will then face off against the Jacksonville Jaguars at Wembley Stadium at 2:30 pm London time, 6:30 am California time.
All eyes were on whether their top target would play.

Puka Nacua suffered an apparent left ankle injury during the second quarter against the Baltimore Ravens after an awkward fall in the end zone. He briefly returned, but the pain was too much for him, causing him to sit on the bench for the remainder of the game. Although Nacua dodged a significant injury, Sean McVay described his ankle sprain as day-to-day, meaning he could still miss some time.

Puka Nacua did not practice this week, a concerning development regarding his availability for Sunday. According to Nate Akins of The Athletic, the Rams have already ruled out Nacua, along with Rob Havenstein, against the Jaguars. Finally, he is not expected to make the trip to London as the team departs Friday night.
Rams WR Puka Nacua and RT Rob Havenstein are OUT for Sunday’s game against the Jaguars.
Everyone else is good to go.

The plan is for Davante Adams to receive most of the targets as the top receiver, while Jordan Whittington and Tutu Atwell will see their roles increase. Whittington has played the third most snaps at the position, recording 62%, compared to Atwell, who has played the fourth most at 37%. Whittington has ten receptions for 112 yards, and Atwell has four receptions for 164 yards and one touchdown.
