To borrow a quote from Al Michaels: “Do you believe in miracles?”
Somehow, the Los Angeles Rams managed to play a game without suffering any significant injuries. After losing Puka Nacua, Joe Noteboom and Steve Avila in Week 1, and then Cooper Kupp, Jonah Jackson and John Johnson III in Week 2, the Rams escaped Sunday’s win over the 49ers with a clean bill of health.
It’s a miraculous development for a team that’s been decimated by injuries, something Sean McVay is clearly very happy about.
“No, by the grace of God, we didn’t,” McVay said when asked about whether the Rams suffered any injuries in the game. “We came out fairly clean. A couple of little nicks and bruises, but nothing that’s going to keep anybody out. That’s a very positive thing because we can now start to establish somewhat of a continuity with the same groups being able to work together two weeks in a row. That’s a blessing.”
Logan Bruss did leave the field for a couple of plays while getting looked at by trainers, but he returned quickly and should be good to go for Week 4 against the Bears. The offensive line staying healthy is essential because as McVay said, getting continuity up front makes a huge difference for the offense.
