Los Angeles Rams cornerback Aqib Talib is headed to injured reserve because of his rib injury, he confirmed to ESPN's Lindsey Thiry on Monday.
Talib missed Sunday's loss to the San Francisco 49ers with the injury, which he sustained in Week 5 against the Seattle Seahawks.
Talib could return later this season. He must miss at least eight weeks, and each team can activate only two players from IR.
