The Los Angeles Rams listed five players as questionable to play against the Washington Commanders on Sunday, three of them being key starters. Trent McDuffie is dealing with a back injury, Colby Parkinson has banged-up ribs and Kam Curl picked up a foot injury that limited him in practice.
Additionally, Grant Stuard and Jordan Whittington were also questionable.
The Rams released their list of inactives before kickoff on Sunday, finalizing the statuses of their injured players. McDuffie is officially inactive due to a back injury, leaving the Rams without their top two cornerbacks; Jaylen Watson is out for the year with a shoulder injury.
Parkinson is active after he missed last week's game. Curl is also active, which is great news for the Rams'
safety group. The Rams' other inactives are Joe Cardona, Ty Simpson, Darryl Peterson III, Bill Murray, Keagen Trost and Desjuan Johnson.

The Commanders already ruled out Treylon Burks and Dyami Brown, leaving them thin at wide receiver. Burks is among the team's inactives, but Brown was placed on injured reserve, so that's the reason his name is not on the list.
Fabian Moreau, Isaac Yiadom, Tanoa Togiai and Athan Kaliakmanis are the Commanders' other inactives.
