Rams devastated by injuries after Cardinals loss: Davante Adams out 6-10 weeks, Kobie Turner 4-6 weeks, Poona Ford and Blake Grupe done for season
WOODLAND HILLS, Calif.
The Los Angeles Rams suffered a significant setback after their loss to the Arizona Cardinals, with four key players sidelined for varying lengths of time. Wide receiver Davante Adams will miss six to 10 weeks due to a ruptured hamstring, while defensive tackle Kobie Turner will be out for four to six weeks because of a groin injury.
Defensive tackle Poona Ford suffered a ruptured triceps, ending his season, and kicker Blake Grupe tore his ACL, also ending his season. The injuries represent another major blow to a team already struggling with inconsistency, having lost three of their last four games. Adams' absence is particularly damaging, as he has been one of the team's most important offensive weapons.
Rams head coach Sean McVay acknowledged the difficulty of replacing such a vital player, stating that adjustments must be made to accommodate the loss. The defensive front is also affected by the absence of Myles Garrett, who remains sidelined following knee surgery. The injuries to Turner and Ford add to the defensive concerns, as the team already struggled against Arizona.
McVay expressed optimism about the team's defensive performance, highlighting their ability to hold the Cardinals to six field goals. However, the injuries have left the Rams searching for answers as they prepare for the remainder of the season.
