The Los Angeles Rams have had some extraordinarily unlucky harm luck to start the season, and it appears to be like like that’s persevering with.
Rams defensive deal with Larrell Murchison was positioned on injured reserve after coaching camp and missed the primary 4 video games of the season with a forearm harm. It appeared that he was on observe to return earlier this week because the Rams opened up his 21-day observe window, signaling that an activation from IR was close to.
Sadly although, Murchison is now again on IR after breaking his foot in his first observe again.
“It’ll be a semantic factor after which we’ll find yourself placing him again on IR,” head coach Sean McVay mentioned. “Poor man broke his foot the primary day again from observe. What we’ll do will allow us to not essentially must burn him for the 12 months. It’ll be semantics that you just guys will see when it comes to the transaction, so a bummed for him. He’s labored actually onerous, however he’ll proceed to do it.”
With Murchison again on the shelf, the Rams introduced again a well-known face in Jonah Williams, who could play this weekend in opposition to the Inexperienced Bay Packers.
“There’s a risk that Jonah may very well be up and able to go,” McVay mentioned. “He has a familiarity with what we’ve finished, so getting him out right here in the present day at observe after which we’ll see precisely what that appears like. I’ll type of have the ability to take a look at that with the coaches after in the present day.”
It’s onerous to not really feel for Murchison, who has been a worthwhile depth piece for the Rams’ line of defense since coming over in 2022.
After struggling a damaged foot, it’s affordable to suppose that Murchison will miss the remainder of the season though it’s potential he returns late within the 12 months if the Rams are within the playoff combine.
Darious Williams returning for Rams in Week 5
The Rams harm information this week hasn’t all been dangerous although as high cornerback Darious Williams was activated from injured reserve and is predicted to return in Week 5 in opposition to the Inexperienced Bay Packers.
Williams missed the primary 4 video games of the season with a hamstring harm however might be a welcomed return for a Rams secondary that has struggled to start the 12 months.
