The Rams planned to have Terrance Ferguson come off injured reserve to play against the Commanders in Week 9, but he was ruled out after Friday’s practice.
Ferguson has been on injured reserve as he recovers from an ankle injury and he picked up a hamstring injury in training ahead of Sunday’s game. After the 20-13 Rams win, coach Sean McVay said in his press conference that the injury will keep Ferguson out a little longer.
“Attracted his snail. You can’t reveal it, can you?” McVay said. “He was just running with a standard cut, he felt his hamstring pull and he’s probably going to have a few more weeks to go.”
The Rams host the Cardinals in Week 10 and they have a bye in Week 11, so Ferguson will miss just one more game if McVay’s timeline is correct. Even if it takes a little longer, Ferguson will need to be activated before his 21-day return window closes in order to avoid being shut out for the rest of the season.
