BALTIMORE – Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua (ankle) and offensive lineman Rob Havenstein (ankle) are out for Sunday's game against the Jaguars at Wembley Stadium in London (6:30 a.m. PT, NFL Network).
"He's done really well," McVay said regarding how Nacua is progressing. "I was able to sit with him a little bit last night. He's making good progress. 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."
As for Havenstein, McVay said "We're hopeful that this time off that he's had will serve him well."
"I was actually just talking to him," McVay said. "He wants to be out there more than anybody and he's such a great leader. He's got such a good vibe. He's frustrated because he wants to be out there working with his teammates, but he's been leading in the meantime. We are hopeful that this time off will serve him well. He's played a lot of snaps in this league and so that ankle has been bothering him a little bit. I think he's such a warrior that he ended up fighting through, but our job is to protect him and put him in situations that are favorable for him and for the football team. We are hopeful that these last few weeks, in addition to having this week and the bye, allow him to be able to hit the ground running. It's a really cool thing watching the way he's poured into (offensive lineman) Warren McClendon Jr. and the way that he's played. I feel fortunate for that."
For the Jaguars, linebacker Devin Lloyd (calf) and tight end Quintin Morris (groin) were ruled out.
Below are the final injury reports for both teams.
