More Rams line problems: Joe Noteboom done for year as Cam Akers trade talk continues

LA Times  

Rams offensive tackle Joe Noteboom is carted off after rupturing his Achilles tendon during a win over the Carolina Panthers on Sunday at SoFi Stadium. The Rams are seeking to trade running back Cam Akers, coach Sean McVay said Monday, and they also will be searching for ways to augment the offensive line in the wake of a season-ending Achilles injury suffered by left tackle Joe Noteboom. McVay said the Rams have explored the “possibility that we could try to help him look for a fresh new start with a new team.” Rams Allen Robinson finally becomes a big-play threat: Rams vs. Panthers takeaways The Rams figured out how to put Allen Robinson in position to make big plays, offset the absence of Cam Akers and more during a win over the Panthers. “If that doesn’t come to fruition, I would never say him coming back and figuring out the best way to be able to utilize him and him be the best player he’s capable of is off the table.” McVay said he had “good dialogue” with Akers and his agent and that there was “clarity in regard to how we got here and why we’re here.” But the Rams still are trying to trade Akers. “Sometimes good dialogue can lead to clarity on making a decision that isn’t necessarily easy but it’s the best,” McVay said, adding, “I’m never going claim to always make the right decisions, but when you weigh the different things that we’re working through and try to figure out what’s best for our football team, and running back room in particular, that’s kind of the direction that we’re leaning towards right now.
