Sisi Mauigoa, the Giants' rookie guard drafted 10th overall, faces a significant challenge in his second NFL game against Aaron Donald, a Hall of Fame-caliber defensive tackle who will likely make his season debut for the Rams on Monday Night Football. Drafted to protect quarterback Daniel Jones, Mauigoa showed exceptional performance in Week 1 by allowing no pressures or hits in pass blocking, but now he must contend with Donald, one of the NFL's most dominant players.

Story summary
Puka Nacua, a star wide receiver for the Los Angeles Rams, will miss their Monday Night Football game against the New York Giants due to an unexplained hip injury. This development came as a surprise after Nacua had been fully participating in practices on Thursday, but did not practice on Friday and was listed as questionable. Despite testing his injury during pregame warmups at SoFi Stadium, he could not get comfortable enough to play. The Rams' offense struggled in their season opener against the San Francisco 49ers with only seven points scored, and Nacua’s absence puts even more pressure on quarterback Matthew Stafford and other receivers like Davante Adams. Additionally, backup receiver Jordan Whittington is also doubtful due to a quad injury, further depleting the team's depth at wide receiver.
