Key playerThe Rams offense has not been at full strength since Week 1 after top receivers Puka Nacua and Cooper Kupp were injured in consecutive weeks. Both were back on Thursday night, and Matthew Stafford had little trouble carving up the Vikings defense. Nacua was favored, with nine targets, catching seven for 106 yards. The veteran Stafford was unfazed by Brian Flores’ defense, which didn’t get much pressure and was held without a sack for the first time this season.

Vikings starting linebacker Blake Cashman, as expected, was ruled out of Thursday night’s game against the Los Angeles Rams as he remains sidelined from practice with turf toe. He also missed Sunday’s loss to the Lions. Ivan Pace Jr. wore the green dot helmet and communicated defensive play calls while Josh Metellus, Andrew Van Ginkel, Dallas Turner and Kamu Grugier-Hill saw time at inside linebacker against Detroit.
