Sean McVay explains what he’s missed most amid Van Jefferson’s absence

The Los Angeles Rams are expected to get a few players back from injury this week, including Van Jefferson. Ahead of the rematch against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 8, Sean McVay shared what he’s missed most from Jefferson amid his absence from the offense.

“I just think it’s the overall productivity. Obviously, he brings the big play element, but I think Van’s a complete receiver. I think he showed that with the way that he was progressing, really throughout last year, but then especially where he was at in relation to just his performance in training camp,” McVay said. “Camp is camp, but it’s still playing football. So to be able to get him back, guy with a lot of experience, a lot of ownership of our offense, the ability to play in a bunch of different spots. I think he’s a compliment to some of the guys that we already have in the mix. But you’re getting a big-time playmaker back who can do a lot of different things for us. (I) love Van and really glad to be able to have him back in the mix for us.”
