Rams depleted secondary gets unlikely break in Week 5 showdown with 49ers

The Los Angeles Rams secondary has been exceeding expectations, of sorts.

LA has already lost starting cornerback Ahkello Witherspoon for most of the season with a fractured clavicle. And while the data is limited to just four games, there is growing concern over fellow corner Emmanuel Forbes Jr. Forbes. He has shown more of a fit as a rotational player than as a starter.

As much as the shaky offensive line caught a lucky break in Week 4 when facing the less-than-feared Indianapolis Colts defense, the same luck seems to be in play for Week 5's Thursday Night Football showdown against the San Francisco as well.
