The Los Angeles Rams just put tight end Terrance Ferguson on injured reserve after he left Week 3’s tough loss to the Denver Broncos with an ankle injury. This move is a brutal blow, especially since he’s just the latest in what’s becoming a seriously long list of offensive weapons sidelined early in the season for Matthew Stafford.
Another Weapon Down, Another Opportunity Lost
Ferguson was a solid target for Stafford, already third on the team with 12 targets, reeling in seven passes for 63 yards and even punching in a touchdown. We all know he was a 2025 second-round pick, a top-50 guy for Les Snead, and he showed flashes as a rookie with 11 catches for 231 yards. But now, with him on IR, it feels like Rams fans are gonna have to wait even longer to see that full potential. This just crushes the vibe for an offense that was supposed to be loaded.
This Injury Report Is An Absolute Disaster
Seriously, the Rams started the season with seven receivers, five tight ends, and three running backs, a full arsenal. But man, it’s just a mess out there already. Puka Nacua has missed the last two games, though he is set to return this Sunday against the Eagles, thank goodness. Ronnie Rivers is also on IR. Xavier Smith got waived on Friday, and now Alex Bachman, who didn’t even make the original 53-man roster, is stepping up as the punt returner. Colby Parkinson hasn’t practiced all week and is questionable, which is a massive headache with Ferguson out. Plus, C.J. Daniels and Max Klare have been healthy scratches every single week, and Tutu Atwell has only been active for one game. Now, Klare is probably gonna make his NFL debut because of all these tight end injuries. What’s even happening out there? It’s like a revolving door of bad news.
The Rams are not exactly silencing those “shades of 2022” allegations with all this chaos, are they? If they can just pull out a win against the Eagles this Sunday, who are also dealing with their own issues after ruling out receiver DeVonta Smith, that would be a huge step. It’s time to stop the bleeding, even if the depth chart looks like a hospital ward right now. We’ll see if Nacua’s return and Klare’s likely debut can spark something against Philly.
