Although coach Sean McVay claimed that Van Jefferson was only "day-to-day," Tuesday was not the appropriate day.
The Rams receiver, who was once again labeled as DNP, was the only roster member who did not participate in practice.
The day before the NFL's regular-season opener, the Rams will designate Jefferson on Wednesday, but it doesn't appear likely that he will face the Bills.
After having surgery on the same knee earlier in the offseason, Jefferson underwent "minor" knee surgery on August 2. The Rams are taking their time with his comeback because they don't want to hurry him back into action, though they haven't yet said he wouldn't play in the first game of the year.
They'll need to devise a short-term plan to take his position. After recording 19 receptions for 220 yards and one score as a rookie in 2020, Jefferson grabbed 50 passes for 802 yards and six touchdowns in the previous season.
Ben Skowronek and Tutu Atwell, two second-year receivers, are anticipated to get more chances while Jefferson is sidelined.
