He's injured so far as we know from the tweets.

Right... just wondered if McVay provided more clarity on this. Last I heard was McVay saying that McCreary "could have gone back in if needed." So I guess the injury was worse than originally thought?

Wonder what the hell is up with Mcreary. Maybe they were disappointed in his play? Or is the injury worse than they thought?

I think it's just a legit injury. McVay referred to it as a hamstring but now I read it's a groin.

Don't think a D-back can cover with a tight groin. I'm kind of useless with a tight groin.

Bleh, I'm not a fan. Sounds like Seattle shit canned him for the same reasons we did.

Yeah, to me it wasn't about his "poor tackling"... it was about him being a freaking idiot and also getting stupid and unnecessary penalties.

Guy is a competitor, I'll give him that. And he's tall enough.

But the stupid penalties... what can I say, I hope we don't ever need to rely on him.

Three DBs on IR.

Kendrick sucks but probably knows his way around the facilities.

Also knows the shortcuts to and from Thousand Oaks to Sofi to avoid traffic on the 101 & 405. You can't put a price on that!
I had a dream of him speaking with the cast of Thursday night football and part of his victory speech was "Remember, If you’re at Olympic and Beverly, go south on Beverly and turn left on Whitworth Dr. Go east till you get to either Fairfax or La Cienega Blvd."

I'm very sure at least Shula is involved in it but who has taught Shula about being a coach the most? He's learned from McVay and he knows DK.

I honestly think if not for the injuries he wouldn't be a Ram that's why I mentioned in the other thread when Witherspoon comes back unless there's another injury DK might be gone.

Yeah I can definitely see that scenario play out. Seems like the Rams are attempting to sure up depth before a playoff run.....just wish it was someone else but I get its harder to get someone up to speed although that happened with McCreary. I think Kendrick will probably stick around until McCreary comes back which sucks but what can ya do?

Glad that Akhello is back. But damn, don't want to mess with the vibe that Forbes and Durant have right now.

Statistically, Durant is a top 5 corner this year.

Somebody will have to move into the slot maybe they "ease" Spoon back into playtime there?

Mcreary hurt his groin on the blitz against Tampa. Rams want to bring him back next year too.

Where did you get both pieces of data? It's rough to believe they'll seriously try to bring him back now since they haven't really seen him in their scheme.

The injury came on one of the first plays of Tampa's opening possession. McVay commented on it in his post-game press conference, and his Monday press conference (both are must listens, IMO) but McVay referred to the injury as a hamstring. Now, it is being reported as a groin injury.

Have not heard/read about wanting McCreary back but I hope that's the case, with so many DBs possibly gone after this season ... Lake, Durant, Williams, Curl, Witherspoon could all be gone ... Hope Not.

Minor correction: Williams is under contract next season. But yeah, we have a lot of free agent DBs.

I'm just not sure how we would know we want to bring him back without fully evaluating how he fits by playing in the scheme. Which is why I'm hoping they bring back Lake and Durant. Known products.

I didn't say free agents. I said could possibly be gone.

Williams 2026 cap hit is almost $9M. That's the 5th highest on the entire team; and, he will be 33 years old.

If released, the Rams would save $7.5M against the cap. I have posted several times, I expect him to be cut.

I don't think so.
Don't believe Witherspoon is quite back just yet.

He was only designated-to-return.
That opens a 21-day window for the Rams to activate him.
From everything I have read, and heard from McVay's press conferences, Witherspoon is still a couple weeks away from playing on Sunday.

Apparently McVay said he expects Akhelo to play this Sunday
