Rams receivers in flux: Woods tears ACL, Beckham practices
Associated PressTHOUSAND OAKS, Calif. — A few hours after the Los Angeles Rams added a playmaking receiver, they lost a cornerstone of their NFL-best passing offense. It’s so unfortunate.” McVay said Woods’ noncontact injury occurred when he “put his foot in the ground kind of weird” Friday. With the Rams all in a somber mood after Woods’ injury, Beckham focused instead on his task in Los Angeles, where he’ll likely have an even bigger role than he might have anticipated. “Rob Woods is one of the best dudes I’ve met,” said Kupp, who tore the ACL in his left knee one day shy of exactly three years earlier, an injury that kept him out of the Super Bowl that season. With Woods also unavailable to an offense that has run three-receiver sets almost exclusively, the Rams’ depth chart at receiver now consists of Kupp, Jefferson and Beckham — followed by rookie Ben Skowronek, who has taken nearly all of his 37 offensive snaps in garbage time this season, or J.J. Koski, who was promoted from the practice squad last week.
