Despite it feeling like the Rams have suffered more injuries this year than a Bruce Lee movie, there’s probably only one that significantly impacts the team compared to what L.A. was supposed to be at the start of the season: Puka Nacua. And the Rams could have still even survived that if not for Cooper Kupp being the next receiver to go down with an injury.
Yes, the receivers room has reached a Patriots-level depletion of talent, but if you looked at the rest of L.A.’s roster, it’s not that much different or worse than the Rams most people predicted to be a playoff team a couple of weeks ago.
