Los Angeles Rams General Manager Les Snead is hoping to make the best out of a pending bust in receiver Tavon Austin. The team traded up to draft the West Virginia product with the eighth overall pick in 2013. Now, as an injury riddled offseason rolls into a preseason that has the Rams getting solid at his position, it’s a fair question to wonder about his role in LA.
Issues with his wrist and now hamstring have kept him from getting any time in Sean McVay’s new offense. Add the dynamic of a rookie in Cooper Kupp emerging and the acquisition of Sammy Watkins, and some may wonder where the Rams and Austin go from here.
