Terrance Ferguson's absence will last beyond just this week. The Los Angeles Rams announced on Friday afternoon that Ferguson has been placed on injured reserve. He will be required to miss at least the next four games as he recovers from an ankle injury that he aggravated in last week's loss to the Denver Broncos.
After placing Ferguson on IR and waiving Xavier Smith, the Rams opened up two spots on the 53-man roster. They filled them quickly by signing both Alex Bachman and Larrell Murchison to the active roster from the practice squad. Bachman will be the punt returner moving forward, and Murchison will provide some additional depth with Aaron Donald out due to a back injury.
Injuries have become a real problem for the Rams, with Myles Garrett,
Puka Nacua, Jaylen Watson and now Ferguson and Donald all missing time in the first four weeks of the season. They have good depth at several spots, but that depth is now being tested.
Ferguson's injury is particularly problematic with Colby Parkinson questionable to play. He's dealing with shoulder and knee injuries after battling through the pain last week against the Broncos.
