Quick Summary

The Los Angeles Rams have made several moves involving their wide receivers due to injuries, placing Jordan Whittington on injured reserve because of a back issue. In response, they re-signed Xavier Smith as a replacement. The team is also expected to place Puka Nacua on the injured reserve list with knee and turf toe injuries, likely sidelining him for at least a month. This situation complicates matters further since the NFL restricts teams to eight IR returns per season, and the Rams are already nearing that limit with six players set to potentially return from injury this year.
