The expected have now become official. On Tuesday, the Rams announced that they have placed Andrew Whitworth, Taylor Rapp and Kai Forbath on injured reserve.
The moves come just one day after Sean McVay said they were all expected to land on IR, following the injuries they suffered in Sunday’s win over the Seahawks. Each player will be forced to miss at least three games, though Whitworth is expected to be sidelined for about 6-8 weeks, according to McVay.
Additionally, the Rams have signed kicker Matt Gay, who was most recently on the Colts’ practice squad before being released earlier this month. He’ll compete with Austin MacGinnis at kicker as the Rams once again search for consistency at kicker.
Gay was a fifth-round pick of the Buccaneers in 2019 but struggled as a rookie. He went 27-for-35 on field goals last season and missed five of his 48 PATs.
