Purdy and McCaffrey aren't starting, but same with the Rams. It will be the battle of the backups.

Starting quarterback Matthew Stafford, running back Kyren Williams, wide receiver Cooper Kupp, defensive tackle Aaron Donald and linebacker Ernest Jones will all be held out of the Rams' season finale. Quarterback Carson Wentz will start in place of Stafford, and quarterback Dresser Winn will be elevated from the practice squad to be Wentz's backup.

McVay said wideout Puka Nacua, who is just 29 yards shy of breaking the NFL's rookie receiving record, will play.
