McDuffie (groin) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Chargers, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.
MCDuffie was limited in practice all week due to a groin injury, which has prevented him from playing in each of the Rams' last two games. Josh Wallace would continue to operate in an elevated role defensively if McDuffie is not cleared to play in Sunday's battle of Los Angeles.
McDuffie (groin) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.
McDuffie returns to practice to start Week 8 prep, a strong sign for the cornerback's health after he was listed as questionable for Week 7 despite not practicing at all. The 26-year-old star will need to upgrade to a full participant by Friday's session to avoid any injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Chargers.

Rams' Trent McDuffie: Logs four tackles in Rams debut
Rotowire
McDuffie recorded four solo tackles and two pass defenses during the Rams' 27-7 Week 1 loss to the 49ers.
Week 1 was McDuffie's first game in a Rams uniform after being acquired from the Chiefs in early March. He was responsible for two of the Rams' seven pass defenses of Brock Purdy, and it was just the second time since the beginning of the 2025 regular season that McDuffie logged at least two pass defenses in a game. The 2022 first-rounder inked a four-year contract extension with the Rams in a deal that made him the highest-paid cornerback in the league prior to Christian Gonzalez's extension with the Patriots, and the Rams are relying on McDuffie to solidify a defense that allowed the 11th-most receiving yards to wideouts in 2025.
