With KR/PR JoJo Natson suffering a hamstring injury that’ll sideline him for 4-6 weeks, the Los Angeles Rams have elected to place Natson on injured reserve, filling his spot by promoting practice squad TE Kendall Blanton:
Natson struggled with his decision making as a special teamer, though he was excellent at fielding punts cleanly. The main beneficiaries in the return game are RB Darrell Henderson as he’s expected to take over kick return duties, and WR NSimba Webster as he’s expected to take over punt return duties.
The promotion of Blanton is relevant because it could foreshadow the health of TE Gerald Everett.
