Before the home opener against the Arizona Cardinals, K Greg Zuerlein injured his groin in warmups and Coach McVay and Coach Bones had to get creative during game — so many two-point conversions! And they even used P Johnny Hekker to kick a 20-yard field goal.
That also means that with Greg the Leg out for 3-6 weeks; because of that, the Rams have brought in last year’s substitute kicker, Sam Ficken.
Recap from Sean McVay availability:
-- Mark Barron not likely to play this week
-- Greg Zuerlein recovery could be anywhere from 3-6 weeks
-- Rams will look at add QB Brandon Allen to practice squad
-- WR KhaDarel Hodge will have a special-teams role— Rich Hammond (@Rich_Hammond) September 19, 2018This Mark Barron injury seems like it’s dragging along slowly, probably because it deals with the achilles, which is a part of the ankle not to be trifled with.
