Rams personnel report: Week 12 vs. Niners
Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay said cornerback Jalen Ramsey had a hip issue the team discovered just before kickoff, which affected his availability on game day against the San Francisco 49ers.
Ramsey played in 50 of the 72 defensive snaps.
“That was kind of something that we were surprised about it in warm-ups,” McVay said. “He did a great job with the reps that he had and I do expect him to be feeling good and he came out of there and checked off with (Vice President, Sports Medicine and Performance) Reggie (Scott) and the training staff in good shape, but that was the only reason why he wasn't out there every single snap.”
The Rams gave up eight passing plays of 18-plus yards to San Francisco back-up quarterback Nick Mullens, so that’s concerning for the defense as they face Kyler Murray and the Arizona Cardinals this week.
After playing out of his mind against Tampa Bay two weeks ago, Cooper Kupp was held to two receptions for 41 yards against San Francisco on five targets. Earlier this year against the Niners, Kupp had just three receptions for 11 yards on nine targets.
Looks like San Francisco knows how to defend Kupp.
