What happened: Puka Nacua returns for the Los Angeles Rams against the Philadelphia Eagles following a two-week absence. Several key offensive contributors are ruled out for Week 4, including Justin Jefferson, Breece Hall, DeVonta Smith, Dallas Goedert and Terry McLaurin. Braelon Allen is expected to start for the New York Jets with Hall sidelined by a quad injury.

Why it matters: The Eagles elevated veteran Zach Ertz from the practice squad for the second consecutive week to offset the absences of Smith and Goedert. Washington opted for caution with McLaurin after a hamstring injury during the week, deactivating the receiver 90 minutes before kickoff against the Indianapolis Colts.

What to watch: Watch how the Eagles integrate Ertz alongside their remaining healthy receivers against Los Angeles.
