For the fourth time in five weeks, the Los Angeles Rams will play a prime-time game. They're hosting the Buffalo Bills on "Monday Night Football," which means their week of practice started on Thursday instead of the usual Wednesday work.
After being extremely shorthanded last week against the Philadelphia Eagles, the Rams are slowly but surely getting healthier. Puka Nacua is back, as is Kam Kinchens, while Aaron Donald and Jaylen Watson both have a chance to play on Monday night after sitting out Week 4.
Donald, Watson and Colby Parkinson were both limited in practice to start the week on Thursday. Quentin Lake is dealing with a minor hip injury that caused him to miss practice, and both Josaiah Stewart (groin) and Nate Landman (shoulder) were held
out of practice, too.
Special teams ace Grant Stuard is has a hamstring injury, as well. The good news is that Konata Mumpfield was a full participant, and Emmanuel Forbes Jr. wasn't listed at all after getting banged up last week.

For the Bills, D.J. Moore and Ed Oliver were both non-participants, as was cornerback Dee Alford. Cornerback Christian Benford and defensive lineman Landon Jackson were both limited, so there aren't any major concerns for Buffalo outside of Moore and Oliver.
