During their 30-26 defeat to the Denver Broncos, the Los Angeles Rams suffered another major loss in the secondary when cornerback Jaylen Watson went down. The free agent who signed over the summer was forced out after injuring his shoulder in the second quarter, leaving the secondary exposed for the rest of the evening.
Watson was carted into the locker room and ruled out with a shoulder injury. According to Rams reporter Michael J. Duarte, Watson was in the locker room with his right arm in a sling after the game.
