The Los Angeles Rams did not wait until November 4 to make a move. General manager Les Snead is too clever for that, as the price always seems to go up as the NFL trade deadline nears. And Snead loves to get a bargain. Still, there was more to this personnel move than meets the eye.
The team, already dealing with cornerback Ahkello Witherspoon on injured reserve, and Emmanuel Forbes Jr. playing inconsistently as a starter, faced another injury at the cornerback position.
In the course of the Week 7 win, starting cornerback Darious Williams was dinged up a bit, suffering an injury to his shoulder and lateral muscle.
