ANAHEIM, Calif -- Before a shoulder injury interrupted his career-best season, Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Robert Woods was on a tear. He hauled in 20 catches for 321 yards and four touchdowns in a three-game span from Nov. 5 to 19, establishing himself as the one of the team's most explosive offensive weapons and a danger to defenses across the league.

But he hasn't played since. And the Philadelphia Eagles (10-2) will likely avoid the task this Sunday of having to cover Woods, who leads the Rams (9-3) with 703 receiving yards this season, despite missing the past two games.

The Rams' fifth-year pass catcher hasn't practiced this month, and coach Sean McVay speculated that Woods' return might be a week away.

Eagles defensive backs, though, didn't let out a deep exhale when they learned that news, they said. Los Angeles has won both of the games it played without Woods, piling up 58 points in the process. And the Rams' offense is stocked with playmakers capable of filling in for Woods.

"They're still rolling," Eagles safety Rodney McLeod said. "They've got other guys in place that have stepped in and done a good job: Sammy Watkins is obviously a great receiver, and he's stepped up even more, Cooper Kupp, and then Todd Gurley. He's a good who does numerous things for that offense, catching it out the backfield and his running ability. Tavon Austin is getting some plays, too."

Watkins, Kupp and Gurley all have more than 500 receiving yards this season. In particular, Cupp appears to be peaking in his rookie season at just the right time to make up for Woods' absence; he's hauled in at least five catches in four straight games after hitting that mark just once in his first 12 NFL outings.

Quarterback Jared Goff's numbers haven't dipped without Wood in the lineup, either.

Eagles cornerback Jalen Mills said defenses often have to make gameplan adjustments when an opposing offensive star is missing. The removal of a prominent player can change the way an offense operates, he said.

But with the Rams, Mills hasn't noticed the team do anything different. He said rookie deep threat Josh Reynolds has taken more snaps the past two weeks in place of Woods, and while he isn't an established target, he runs similar routes to the Rams' leading receiver.

"Of course you see Robert Woods flash off the film, but at the same time, you see Reynolds doing the same thing," Mills said. "Anytime he's in the game, if he's open, you don't see the quarterback not trying to throw to him. They're throwing to him and he's getting receptions."

The Eagles' secondary, which has been a pleasant surprise to the many around the team this year, hit a few bumps last week in a loss to Seattle. With quarterback Russell Wilson extending plays with his feet, defensive backs struggled to play sound coverage downfield.

The group's first opportuniy to rebound comes Sunday against an offense averaging 30.1 points per game, which is tied with the Eagles for the best in the league. Philadelphia views the challenge as a stiff one, even if one of Los Angeles' top playmakers is on the sideline.

"They're still really effective with their unit even though Robert Woods is out," McLeod said. "He was doing a great job, but they haven't missed a beat."
