Wide receiver Cooper Kupp is already on the injured reserve with a similar injury. The Rams have also lost wide receiver Allen Robinson II for the rest of the season due to a stress fracture on his foot. It is somehow getting worse for the reigning Super Bowl champions with each passing week. The loss to the Patrick Mahomes-led Chiefs was the Rams’ eighth of the season.

Their main weapon, QB Matthew Stafford is on concussion protocol and missed the game against the Chiefs. Stafford had also missed the week 10 clash against the Arizona Cardinals due to a concussion. The Rams are fourth on the NFC West table and playoffs seem highly improbable though they still have a mathematical chance. Where on the divisional table will the Rams finish this season?
