Rams aim to rebound against Giants as Donald returns and Nacua doubts linger

Following a humbling loss to the San Francisco 49ers in Australia, the Los Angeles Rams head to SoFi Stadium for a home opener against the New York Giants. Sean McVay said the 11-day gap feels like an eternity, but the team is ready to compete again. Defensive anchor Aaron Donald, who ended a two-year retirement, is expected to suit up, though he may face renewed double-team attention.

Wide receiver Puka Nacua remains questionable due to a hip injury, and edge rusher Myles Garrett is still out on injured reserve. Veteran receiver Davante Adams warned against overreacting to the recent defeat, while quarterback Matthew Stafford emphasized moving past the loss. The Giants, coached by John Harbaugh, arrive after a 28-20 win over the Dallas Cowboys, led by quarterback Jaxson Dart and a productive offense.
