Injuries have been a major storyline for the Los Angeles Rams so far this season, losing stars such as Myles Garrett and Puka Nacua in the first three weeks. Aaron Donald is now the latest player to come out of a game banged up.

Sean McVay said on Wednesday that Donald is dealing with a sore back. As a result, he will not practice Wednesday.

It’s unclear how serious the injury is, or whether it will affect Donald’s availability for Sunday’s game against the Eagles. Donald has played the last two games after sitting out Week 1 while he was still getting acclimated and up to speed.

Donald, 35, was one of the most durable and reliable players during his 10-year career with the Rams, rarely missing any time due to injury. It's likely because of how hard he works and trains, not only during the season, but also in the offseason.

The Rams face the Eagles this Sunday in search of their second win, attempting to get back to 2-2 on the year.
