  "account": "INGLEWOOD, Calif. (AP) — Los Angeles Rams kicker Blake Grupe suffered a knee injury during his debut with the team on Sunday while executing a tackle on special teams against the Arizona Cardinals. The incident occurred near midfield just over five minutes into the match when Grupe brought down Devin Duvernay on a 40-yard kickoff return. The Rams informed Grupe is questionable to resume the game following an evaluation in the medical tent. Grupe had previously scored a 44-yard field goal, putting the Rams ahead 3-0 with 9:41 left in the first quarter. This injury marks the fifth time Grupe has been sidelined by a knee issue in his past 57 games with the Rams. He made all 11 field goals in a five-game stint with the Indianapolis Colts last season, having begun his professional career with the New Orleans Saints in 2023.",
