Every team has been forced to overcome injuries and absences due to COVID-19, and the Rams are no exception. They were without six starters on Monday night alone, losing five players to positive COVID-19 tests in the three days leading up to their game against the Cardinals.
Brian Allen missed the game with a knee injury suffered in Week 13, as well, leaving the Rams short-handed against the 10-2 Cardinals.
They still managed to beat their division rivals, 30-23, battling through the adversity of missing players such as Jalen Ramsey, Tyler Higbee and Rob Havenstein. Sean McVay and Raheem Morris were forced to draw help from the practice squad, also relying on backups who didn’t play much up to this point.
The snap counts show how the Rams replaced those six starters and who played more than usual Monday night.
