Rams cornerback Trent McDuffie misses practice again with a back injury before Sunday's Commanders game.
McDuffie took a knee to the back in the Rams' 24-9 win over the Chargers and left briefly before returning to the sideline. Coach Sean McVay sounded optimistic on Monday, but McDuffie was not at the facility Wednesday and was seen only briefly Thursday. Sources told the California Post that McDuffie has been arriving for treatment and is still expected to be available Sunday. Fellow injured starters Colby Parkinson (rib) and Kam Curl (foot) have been visible around the facility.

No. 3 in the 30-second version
Seahawks six starters, including QB Sam Darnold, missed Thursday practice before Sunday's Cardinals game.
According to SB Nation and Field Gulls, the non-participants were Darnold, Rashid Shaheed, Charles Cross, Quenton Nelson, Leonard Williams and Derick Hall. Uchenna Nwosu did not practice, while Ernest Jones and Drew Lock were limited, and Anthony Bradford, Nick Emmanwori and Jaxon Smith-Njigba were full participants. The fan sites say the Rams play the Commanders earlier Sunday, and a Rams win would leave the Seattle-Arizona loser in last place in the NFC West.
