Support Local Media - Click to Add LA Sports Report as a Preferred Source on GoogleLos Angeles Rams cornerback Trent McDuffie and tight end Colby Parkinson are both questionable ahead of Sunday’s matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers.McDuffie has missed each of the Rams’ last two games with a groin injury, while Parkinson is a new arrival on the injury report with a rib injury, and missed practice on Wednesday and Thursday.Trent McDuffieMcDuffie has been a huge miss for the Rams over the past two games, as he was a premier offseason acquisition for the team. They’ve managed a 1-1 record without him, but adding him back into the mix would be a huge boost against the Chargers.He arrived in Los Angeles in exchange for four draft picks, and proved his worth through the first five games of the season with 16 tackles and an interception.The Rams currently sit fourth in the NFL in air yards allowed per game, and adding McDuffie back into the team this weekend would only further improve one of the best defenses in the league.Colby ParkinsonParkinson has played in six of the Rams’ seven games this year, missing Week 4’s clash against the Philadelphia Eagles due to knee and shoulder injuries. He has 14 receptions and 103 yards for one touchdown this season, and leaving him out for Sunday would further hamper the Rams’ core of pass catchers.Puka Nacua is currently playing with a calf injury, and Davante Adams is out for several weeks with a hamstring injury. If Parkinson is to miss Sunday, the Rams could be in trouble.Parkinson suffered his rib injury during the third quarter of last week’s win over the Raiders, but played out the game after briefly sitting out in the second half. Hs injury has since caused him to miss two practices, though, which isn’t a good sign for the Rams. They still have an experiences tight end in Tyler Higbee, though, who has 26 receptions for 260 yards on the season, so they’ll likely be able to manage without Parkinson.The Rams are at a crucial part of their season, and will hope both McDuffie and Parkinson can play Sunday to help them get their season back on track. They currently sit at 3-4, good for third in the NFC West a game behind the Seattle Seahawks. They’ll look to get back to .500 on Sunday, when they take on the Chargers at 1:25 p.m. PT.The post Rams List 2 Key Players as Questionable for Chargers Clash appeared first on LA Sports Report.
