Story summary

Trent McDuffie, a star cornerback for the Los Angeles Rams, will not play in Sunday's game against the Arizona Cardinals due to a groin injury sustained during practice. The Rams had listed McDuffie as questionable on Friday, but he was declared inactive on Sunday. McDuffie, acquired by the Rams from the Kansas City Chiefs last March in exchange for four draft picks and then signed to a four-year, $124 million contract extension, has been an outstanding defensive player this season with 16 tackles and one interception in his first five games. His absence could significantly impact the Rams' defense, which is already dealing with safety Kam Curl being listed as questionable due to an ankle injury. Rookie offensive lineman Keagen Trost was activated off injured reserve for his NFL debut, while left tackle Alaric Jackson remains suspended after striking a Buffalo Bills player in a previous game.
