  "account": "Wesley Bailey, an undrafted free agent from Louisville, is stepping up to help the Los Angeles Rams cope without star defensive end Myles Garrett. Garrett was placed on injury reserve on Thursday and is expected to miss at least four games, leaving a void that Bailey must fill. Although the Rams haven't announced any additional moves yet, Sean McVay has called upon Bailey to contribute during the upcoming Monday game against the New York Giants. McVay praised Bailey as someone who they will be counting on, regardless of his specific role or responsibilities. Bailey's potential impact on the team could provide much-needed momentum during a challenging period.",
