Rams injury report: Puka Nacua, Cobie Durant DNP Thursday

With their upcoming game being on Monday night, the Los Angeles Rams got an extra day of rest coming out of Week 2. They started their week of practice on Thursday afternoon, which was their first injury report, as well.

The Rams listed five players on their injury report to open the week, including Puka Nacua and Cobie Durant. Both players were non-participants, as was Brian Allen. Nacua is still dealing with an oblique injury, Durant has a groin issue and Allen is sick.

Joe Noteboom, who left Sunday’s game with a shoulder injury, was limited, along with Jonah Williams due to a back injury.

Sean McVay said Thursday that he doesn’t expect any of the injuries to affect players’ availability for Monday night’s game against the Bengals, which is good news.

As you can see on the Bengals’ side, Joe Burrow was a non-participant after he aggravated his calf injury in Week 2. His status for Monday is very much up in the air.

Former Rams safety Nick Scott was limited as he recovers from a concussion. This will be his first game against his old team.

CINCINNATI (AP) As Joe Burrow goes, so go the Bengals. And neither is in a good place right now.

The Pro Bowl quarterback is day to day with the lingering effects of a right calf strain suffered early in training camp. He didn't practice Thursday and doesn't know if he'll be able to go when the Bengals host the Los Angeles Rams on Monday night.

If he can't, backup Jake Browning - a former practice squad QB who had his first and only NFL pass attempt in Week 1 - will get the nod. He won the job in training camp.

“You have to be ready, and Browning is an excellent capable backup, as well,” Rams coach Sean McVay said. "But I think you’d have to be silly not to prepare for one of the best. We’ll find out probably later on in the week - or maybe 90 minutes before kickoff - whether he’s going or not.”

Whether it was Burrow's injury or his lack of practice time, or a little of both, the Cincinnati offense has been slow to rev up and the defending AFC North champion lost its first two games for the second consecutive season.

Late in last Sunday's 27-24 loss to the Ravens, Burrow aggravated the calf injury and limped off the field.

It's no time to panic, Cincinnati coach Zac Taylor said.

“I would argue that this isn’t adversity. That comes (with losses) later in the year, typically,” Taylor said. "We know that this season’s a marathon. We stumbled out the box, but again, we’ll pick up the pace, and (I) feel like we’ll be in good shape as the season goes.”

The Rams (1-1) won at Seattle in Week 1, then came away with plenty of positives in a 30-23 loss to powerhouse San Francisco last week.

Rookie receiver Puka Nacua, second-year running back Kyren Williams and third-year wideout Tutu Atwell led the way in a 386-yard effort by the Matthew Stafford-led offense.

Stafford threw for 307 yards and topped Peyton Manning’s NFL record for the most yards passing by a quarterback in his first 200 games.

BUSY MAN

With Cooper Kupp sidelined with a hamstring injury, Nacua set a single-game rookie record with 15 catches for 147 yards last week, giving him an NFL-leading 25 receptions already this season.

But that workload has come at a cost to the fifth-round draft pick from BYU, who sustained an oblique injury in his debut at Seattle. McVay said he has been careful with Nacua in practice and is looking for ways to minimize the wear and tear.

MIXON IN THE MIX

His numbers haven't been gaudy, but Bengals running back Joe Mixon has been a steady presence for an inconsistent offense. The seventh-year pro carried...
