With the recent injury to starting inside linebacker Micah Kiser, the Los Angeles Rams are looking to second-string inside linebacker Bryce Hager to fill the void. Hager — who has started only one game in four years — is now set to handle the reigns next to current starting “Mo linebacker” Cory Littleton.
The breakdown in snap shares between Hager and subpackage linebackers like rookie Taylor Rapp are going to be interesting, because Defensive Coordinator Wade Phillips is sure to utilize both in what they’re best at.
