Rams set for Week 3 with Whittington back, Nacua doubtful
Summary

Matthew Stafford and the Los Angeles Rams prepare for their Week 3 matchup against the Denver Broncos. Puka Nacua is doubtful and has not practiced, while Jordan Whittington is expected to return to the lineup. Tight end Colby Parkinson is also trending in the right direction, as head coach Sean McVay hopes to bolster the offense without Nacua. Whittington will have the opportunity to increase his role as he aims to contribute more significantly this season following an underwhelming performance last year. Kam Kinchens is also expected to be doubtful for the game.
