A good portion of the Rams’ roster had to endure a difficult 2022 season due to injuries. Jordan Fuller was among those to miss time, which left the safety position a bit thin.
After starting a total of 28 games in his first two seasons, Fuller was limited to only three games last year due to a hamstring injury suffered in Week 4, something he was never able to return from.
Heading into the 2023 season, Fuller is finally healthy again and he couldn’t be happier. During his media session this week, he told reporters that he feels good and has put the injury issues behind him.
“I’m good. I’m good,” Fuller said of his health status. “It feels really good because it was nagging but I’m happy to just put that behind me and focus on now and this season and my teammates and coaches.”
The Rams badly need Fuller to stay healthy this season because they’re thinner at safety than they have been in years. Taylor Rapp and Nick Scott are both gone, which leaves Fuller, Russ Yeast and Quentin Lake as the team’s top safeties.
Fuller brings experience and stability to the position, having been a full-time starter before. And with Bobby Wagner returning to the Seahawks, the Rams might need Fuller to be the defensive signal caller again, too.
His presence on the back end will hopefully keep a young and inexperienced defense aligned and in position to make plays.
