Amid the pageantry and celebration of the Rams’ run to the Super Bowl, Robert Woods has dealt with personal and family loss.
Woods, a Los Angeles receiver, tore an anterior cruciate ligament at a practice session in November, ending his season. Then, a few weeks ago, his father died. But Woods is trying to remain positive and cheer on his teammates ahead of the biggest game of their careers.
“I could sit here and mope about it and say: ‘I wish I was out there. The team is winning the Super Bowl ring without me,’” he told reporters.
