Rams 'optimistic' Trent McDuffie will play vs. Cardinals on Sunday
Rams star Trent McDuffie has missed 3 of the last 4 games but Sean McVay says he's "optimistic" the CB will return this week.
The Los Angeles Rams are hopeful that star cornerback Trent McDuffie will suit up against the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday. McDuffie has been sidelined for three of the team's last four games due to groin and back injuries. Sean McVay expressed optimism that McDuffie will be cleared to play this week. The quarterback acknowledged that the injury McDuffie sustained requires careful management to ensure a successful return.
McVay emphasized the importance of McDuffie's potential availability, stating, "We're optimistic that this week he will be able to go." The Rams have been holding McDuffie out of practice on Wednesday, but the outlook remains positive. When healthy, McDuffie has been an All-Pro-level performer, recording two interceptions and eight passes defensed.
With Jaylen Watson out for the season, the Rams cannot afford to lose another player, and McDuffie's return would bolster a defense that dominated after Myles Garrett's return last week.
