Josh Reynolds has been rehabbing a torn labrum he suffered in the playoffs

May 21, 2018 | By:Jake Ellenbogen

According to Joe Curley, Rams second-year wideout Josh Reynolds has been rehabbing an injury he suffered in the Rams last game of the 2017-18 season that came in the playoffs against the Atlanta Falcons.

Josh Reynolds was stuck as the team's number four wideout last season due to the team having rookie star Cooper Kupp, Robert Woods and trade acquisition Sammy Watkins. This year he looks at the same scenario with a new trade acquisition in star WR Brandin Cooks. This injury is a shame as it came at the end of the fourth quarter in the Rams playoff loss but like Reynolds said to Joe, he has had the opportunity to start the grind and get focused on football earlier than most players in the league. Reynolds is expected to be a key contributing role player on special teams and in the Rams offense.

The team drafted Reynolds in the fourth round of the 2017 NFL Draft and while he looks at just the fourth spot on the roster, it does not mean he will get starved in an offense that was one of the best last year and likely only improved this offseason. The Reynolds rehabbing does open the door for third-year WR Mike Thomas to finally come into his own, Pro Bowl PR/KR Pharoh Cooper who has been used sparingly on offense but a ton as a special teamer and other receivers such as UDFA's LaQuvionte Gonzalez, Steven Mitchell, Ricky Jeune among others.

With this injury, it's a serious thing and will be something to keep an eye on and monitor not just this season but with Reynolds moving forward as he already he tore the opposite shoulder's labrum during his time at Texas A&M.

I dont remember reading anything about this.

I dont remember reading anything about this.

All of sudden all the injuries popping up and we're just getting started. Ogbonnia Okoronkwo, Barron and now Reynolds...Rams were fortunate last year not off to a good start this season.

Reynolds is fine now, that's why he took part in OTAs.
Barron not being ready to training camp was expected, better to be safe than sorry.
Obo, yes this is new.
But let's not be making this so called injury bug to being bigger than it actually is.

Never good, but now is better than later, because we can prepare other guys to be ready. We can also use it as a coaching point, like be ready, and take care of your body, etc. Probably the best thing I can say about it.

Thought a labrum was a surgical repair?

Aren't omissions concerning Reynolds and Barron after this long, bordering on lies?

He probably got surgery and he's been rehabbing it back to full strength. I tore my labrum in my left shoulder about 6 years ago. Did the surgery and went to rehab. But I re injured it and it hasn't been the same since. Ligaments can be tricky. I also didn't have an NFL staff helping me out.

If you mean per NFL rules I don't think a team has to disclose any injuries until the week of a game. So after the last game of the season they don't have to tell anyone if they don't want to.

No, not according to NFL rules. I'm talking about fans assessing chances for the team, find that they were deceived (via omission) by the team for months. I'm just saying I don't like it.

Oh, eh I guess. If the first day of OTAs started and we were told Todd Gurley tore his ACL on the last play of the Atlanta game and no one knew I would be pretty upset I guess. But Reynolds and Barron seem like they're fine now with Barron probably just being shelved until camp due to precautionary veteran status. And it seems like both we already knew about anyway. I know it was known Barron was having some surgeries in the offseason around the same time Kayvon Webster was. And it seems like I remember them saying Reynolds hurt his shoulder after the Falcons game.

And yet Reynolds is reported to have played yesterday and caught passes in 7 on 7 from Goff. Not sure what they're lying about.

 

[BonifayRam]

However but stilll..........just this week ....

During team drills, Goff faked a handoff on the left, rolled to his right, threw on the run and hit wideout

Josh Reynolds in stride on an intermediate pass toward the right sideline. It was a play that displayed Goff’s chemistry and timing with his receivers, even in this stage of the offseason program.

I didn't know he played...So why mention it all if nothings wrong now?

They mentioned multiple players had off season surgeries or injuries and they’re bringing them along slowly. The only exception is Obo who they said would be ready by camp.

 

[Ramon Ram]

Labrum usually takes a full year to fully heal as I had one

I think Obo being out is a big deal. Hes a rookie that needs all the reps he can get.
I'm not as concerned about Barron or Reynolds.

 

[ReekofRams]

I agree that Obo being injured is a big deal. The point I was making is, let's not bunch in Barron's and Reynold's injuries into the fray, as Barron's injury was known about even before last season ended, knowing he was going to have surgery, and that it was a six month recovery. And Reynolds injury is healed to the point of him being able to be a full participate in yesterday's OTAs and in all the other off season conditioning activities, so it's a non-issue.
But like you I too am concerned about Okoronkwo.
