The Rams will face the Eagles without defensive tackle Aaron Donald, though wide receiver Puka Nacua is slated to return to action, according to coverage from ESPN and Fox Sports.

The two clubs are scheduled to play on Sunday, with Fox Sports reporting that neither side is expected to be fully healthy, also noting that Eagles receiver DeVonta Smith's availability remains in question.
