Rams' Thursday Injury Report for Week 3 vs. Buccaneers
With a matchup full of glitz and glamour as the defending Super Bowl champion Tampa Bay Buccaneers head to town to square off against the Los Angeles Rams, having key players with a clean bill of health is critical.
Rams coach Sean McVay missed Wednesday's practice with a non-COVID-19 illness. However, he returned to the practice field in preparation for the Week 3 contest on Thursday.
The Bucs, however, are expected to be without pass-rusher Jason Pierre-Paul after he received a second opinion on his injured shoulder and was recommended to rest it, as first reported by NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. With no ruling officially made regarding Pierre-Paul's game designation, he is likely to be inactive this weekend.
