Las Vegas Raiders vs. Los Angeles Rams NFL Week 7 Live Updates, Highlights, and Analysis

We have a West Coast battle this afternoon as the 2-4 Los Angeles Rams travel to face the 3-3 Las Vegas Raiders.

The Rams have been nothing short of a disappointment after an offseason dominated by defensive help, including trading for Myles Garrett, signing cornerbacks Trent McDuffie and Jaylen Watson, and the return of future Hall of Famer Aaron Donald from retirement.

The Rams missed star wideout Puka Nacua for two games, and now Davante Adams is out with a hamstring injury for 6-10 weeks.

The Raiders have lost three straight games but remain competitive with Kirk Cousins at the helm. If the losing streak continues, fans will start calling for the 1st overall pick, Fernando Mendoza.

Here is the list of players the Rams will be missing today.

Don't expect to see these players today versus the Rams.

Last week, the Raiders' elite tight end Brock Bowers finished the first half against the Bills without a reception. He finished the game with four receptions for 70 yards.

It was a nice rebound for Bowers, but the Raiders must prevent that from happening. He is their WR1, the one opposing defenses focus on most. Keep moving Bowers around in the formation to make it harder to put a cornerback on him and take him out of the progression.

Quentin Lake will be responsible for communicating and relaying the Rams' defensive play calls.

Tonka Hemingway helps get the Rams' offense off the field with a big sack.

Matthew Stafford finds Davis Allen in the end zone on a hard-play action to score the game's first touchdown. On National Tight Ends Day, for extra icing on the cake!

Puka Nacua is not done climbing the Rams' receiving-yards rankings.
