Overview

  • Los Angeles placed Witherspoon on injured reserve Monday, which means a minimum four-game absence under NFL rules.
  • The cornerback fractured his clavicle in Sunday’s 33-19 win at Tennessee and left in the second quarter.
  • Darious Williams logged 26 defensive snaps in relief and is set for an expanded role alongside Emmanuel Forbes Jr. and Cobie Durant.
  • McVay said the Rams will bring somebody into the cornerback room, considering a practice-squad elevation or an external addition.
  • Depth decisions come quickly with the undefeated Rams visiting the defending champion Eagles in Week 3.
