Rams had LB wear blonde wig to simulate Clay Matthews

Clay Matthews can be a disruptive force, so it’s not surprising that ahead of their game against the Packers on Sunday, the Rams had a player simulate the linebacker during practice. However, it wasn’t just his play on the defensive side of the ball St. Louis mimicked; they emulated his looks as well.
