Soft-tissue injuries are often prevalent early in the NFL season because there is less contact during training camp and preseason playing time for key contributors is limited. The league lost a few stars in recent weeks and now teams are tasked with filling that lost production.

What to look for from the top Rams and 49ers players and how to watch the game as they face off on Sunday, week 3.

Two star quarterbacks will be game-time decisions on Sunday. Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert is dealing with a high ankle sprain, while Packers signal-caller Jordan Love's rapid recovery from his knee injury has made his status for Sunday a possibility.

An oblique injury has kept Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III out of the lineup. He missed their Week 2 win over the Patriots and his status for Sunday's game against the Miami Dolphins is in question. Zach Charbonnet, who ran for 38 yards on 14 carries with a touchdown, would be in line start again if Walker cannot go.

The injury occurred late in the game when Love was tackled by two Eagles players and had his knee bend awkwardly as he threw the ball away. He limped off the field after the injury and did not return.
