It’s another tough break for the Los Angeles Rams as they tackle another significant blow to their roster.
Key Player Sidelined
In devastating news for Rams fans, Safety John Johnson III is out of action for four-to-six weeks due to a fractured scapula. The gritty defender shared the news himself on his podcast this Monday, and it’s clear the Rams will miss his presence on the field.
Injury Update
According to NFL Media’s Ian Rapoport, Johnson will be placed on injured reserve but is expected to make a comeback. Johnson, who’s 28 years old, has already made his mark this season with eight total tackles and an interception in just two games. Sadly, his recent shoulder injury forced him to leave the battlefield during Sunday’s gut-wrenching loss to the Arizona Cardinals.
A Star Returns Home
Johnson, the Rams’ third-round pick back in 2017, returned to the team last season after two years with the Cleveland Browns. In his comeback season, he notched an impressive 42 total tackles, defended six passes, and snagged two interceptions—making him a force to be reckoned with on the defense.
Season So Far
This setback couldn’t have come at a worse time for the Rams, who are scrambling to fill Johnson’s shoes. His absence will surely resonate throughout their defensive lineup. “It’s like losing a knight in a chess game,” said Rams coach, analogizing the crucial role Johnson plays. “We’ll miss his hard-hitting style and leadership on the gridiron.”
