Colby Parkinson (concussion), Omar Speights (ankle), Tutu Atwell (hamstring), Blake Corum (ankle), and Josaiah Stewart (illness) were full participants.

McVay on Nacua

Nacua hurt his ankle against the Baltimore Ravens last week and while he could have played that game, the team did not want to risk long term damage. That ended up being the right call as Nacua is forced to miss a second game.

“He's making good progress," stated McVay. "I am very optimistic about hopefully having him ready after the bye. I think it'll serve him well and I have confidence in our other receivers to be able to step up.”

It's important to note that Steve Avila played on a bad ankle in emergency service during the Rams' week one matchup and wouldn't get the start again until last week. He missed three games and was benched for the Rams' Thursday night matchup against the 49ers.
