As the NFL’s defending Super Bowl champions heading into the 2022 season, the Los Angeles Rams had sky-high expectations that they could not meet. Whether because of injuries, a lack of execution, or tough breaks, the Rams have found themselves just a game ahead of the last-place spot in the NFC West with two weeks remaining in the season.
All-Pro linebacker Bobby Wagner signed with Los Angeles in the offseason in the hopes of chasing a ring with the Rams this year, and has gotten a raw deal in that regard given how the season has played out. Nonetheless, head coach Sean McVay told reporters on Sunday that Wagner’s steady presence has been a boon for him personally amid Los Angeles’ 2022 skid. When asked if the linebacker has made an impact on his outlook for the future, he answered in the affirmative.
