What happened: Nacua practiced in full Thursday ahead of the Rams' Sunday game in Philadelphia. Smith has been sidelined this week by a hamstring injury, and his status is trending the other way going into the weekend.

Why it matters: That shifts the expected receiver balance for Sunday after Nacua was already trending toward a return earlier Thursday. Changes at the top of each passing game can reshape target distribution and red-zone usage before kickoff.

What to watch: Friday's final injury report will show whether Nacua carries a game designation and whether Smith gets back on the practice field before Sunday.
