Rams declared TE Colby Parkinson, QB Ty Simpson, LS Joe Cardona, OT Keagan Trost, and DE Desjuan Johnson inactive for Week 8 against the Chargers.

Parkinson will miss at least one game with a rib injury he sustained last week against the Raiders. His absence could have a big impact on playing time for both Davis Allen — who had two touchdown grabs last week — and Tyler Higbee, the de facto TE1 in the LA offense. Both tight ends are better options against the Chargers with Parkinson sidelined.
