Sean McVay reveals key weapon for Matthew Stafford is ‘out weeks’ with injury
Rams tight end Terrance Ferguson has suffered a hamstring injury just as he was returning to practice from an ankle injury. Coach Sean McVay said Ferguson is likely to miss another couple of weeks, delaying the return of a young receiver who had become a useful target for quarterback Matthew Stafford.
Ferguson strained his hamstring on an out route late in Friday’s practice, and imaging showed a pulled muscle. The Rams have opened his 21-day window to return from injured reserve, meaning he must be activated by 25 November. Before his ankle injury in Week 3, the 23-year-old had 63 yards and a touchdown on seven catches across three games; the Rams have won three consecutive games despite a run of injuries.
In short
- Ferguson is expected to miss another couple of weeks with a hamstring strain.
- The Rams must activate him by 25 November.
- He had 63 yards and a touchdown in his first three games.
Explained simply
The Los Angeles Rams are a team in the National Football League (NFL), the top professional American football league in the United States. Quarterback Matthew Stafford leads the offence, while tight ends such as Terrance Ferguson can catch passes and help block for teammates.
Ferguson is a young player who had made a useful start to his Rams career before an ankle injury kept him out. His hamstring injury delays his return, leaving the team without one of its available passing targets as it manages a number of injuries.
