- Arizona ruled out Jeremiyah Love, and that gives Los Angeles a cleaner path against a run game that has already been a problem area for the Rams.
- For a second straight week, the Rams’ final injury report is thankfully sparse, yet the bigger issue is what sits behind that clean-looking report: a defense that can still be stressed if Trent McDuffie’s groin issue lingers, and an offense that keeps asking Matthew Stafford to carry too much of the load.
- The same thing is true on offense, where Stafford’s workload keeps growing.
- The Rams are on track for Stafford to throw 734 passes in 2026, a pace that reflects just how often the offense is leaning on him.
- Yes, Arizona being without Love gives the Rams a better chance to control one part of the game.
- One opponent injury can make the path easier for a week.
- It does not change how much Los Angeles is asking of Stafford, or how quickly the defense can become vulnerable if the secondary loses another piece.
