The LA Rams emerge from a disappointing season in much the same way as the San Francisco 49ers emerged from disappointment the previous season. The 49ers suffered 13 players falling to injured reserve in 2018, including starting quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo. That gave the illusion that the 2018 version of the 49ers was worse than they truly were. The 2019 version, for the most part, remained very healthy. That now works in the opposite direction – where they appear better than they may be with a normal carry weight of injuries.
The 2019 LA Rams endured 19 injuries to players which forced the team to play through the remainder of their season with backups.
