He sat out the Rams’ 17- 9 victory over the New York Giants but started in Sunday’s 30- 10 victory at Washington, which improved the Rams’ record to 4- 1.
Fuller is eligible to return after three games.
With Fuller sidelined, second- year pro Taylor Rapp is expected to start in his place against the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday at Levi’s Stadium.
