Rams Get Bad News on Key Defensive Piece Days Before Raiders Game

The Los Angeles Rams will face the Las Vegas Raiders for their Week 7 matchup on Sunday.

The Rams desperately need to pick up a win against the Raiders, as they are entering the contest with losses in three of their last four games. With this, they currently have a 2-4 record, which is far below expectations.

Now, as the Rams prepare for their game against the Raiders, they have gotten some bad injury news regarding one of their key defensive players.

According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, the Rams have placed defensive end Kobie Turner on injured reserve. With this news, Turner will officially be out for a minimum of four games for LA.

With Turner being a solid part of the Rams' defense, it is certainly concerning that he is going to miss at least four games due to injury. This is especially so with the Rams desperately aiming to get their season back on track.

Turner is currently in his fourth season with the Rams after being drafted by them in the third round of the 2023 NFL Draft, 89th overall. In six games this season, the 6-foot-2 defensive end has posted 22 combined tackles. This is after he posted seven sacks and 48 combined tackles in 17 games for the Rams during last season.
