Next man up: Los Angeles Rams HC Sean McVay provides insight on injuries to key starters and who steps up in their absence

The Los Angeles Rams are in pretty rough shape following their Week 6 home loss to the San Francisco 49ers. They headed into that matchup already down Clay Matthews (jaw), Todd Gurley (quad), and Aqib Talib (ribs). At least two of those three won’t be returning in Week 7, when the Rams take on the Atlanta Falcons.

Rams’ Head Coach Sean McVay has some serious work, and personnel shuffling, to do this week. Aqib Talib has been placed on the shelf for a minimum of eight weeks, Joseph Noteboom has now been lost for the season, John Johnson III is dinged up, and Todd Gurley is still questionable to return this week.
