The Los Angeles Rams just can’t catch a break with injuries, and now their defensive line depth is taking another hit. Kobie Turner is officially on injured reserve, a move that just dropped Wednesday.
Turner’s Trip to IR Highlights Rams’ Brutal Injury Run
This is a brutal blow, especially when you consider it comes right after they sidelined Davante Adams and Poona Ford on IR Tuesday. Turner is going to miss at least the next four games, and Sean McVay himself said it’ll be a “handful of weeks.” The good news, if there is any, is that they *do* expect him back this season, unlike Ford, who’s been ruled out for the rest of the year. So, yeah, their roster is getting absolutely hammered right now, forcing a constant shuffle.
Rams Scramble to Patch Up Defensive Line Depth
To try and plug some of these gaps, the Rams are scrambling. They’ve already signed edge rusher Darryl Peterson III off the practice squad to the active roster. Plus, they brought in nose tackle Jalen Hunt to fill a spot on the practice squad. It shows you just how deep they’re having to dig into their depth chart with all these guys going down.
So, when could we see Turner back in action? The earliest talk is Week 12 against the Green Bay Packers on Thanksgiving Eve. Until then, it’s going to be a real test for the Rams to keep things together with a patchwork defensive line. This team needs to stay healthy, seriously.
