LOS ANGELES - Los Angeles Rams starting inside linebacker Bryce Hager has been ruled out for Thursday night's division game against the Seattle Seahawks because of a shoulder injury, according to the team's injury report.
Safety Taylor Rapp is doubtful because of an ankle injury.
In Hager's absence, Troy Reeder, an undrafted rookie from Delaware, is expected to start. Backup safety Marqui Christian is anticipated to assume Rapp's role if he is unable to play.
Reeder, who made the roster largely due to his special teams effort, was inserted last Sunday in a 55-40 loss against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers after Hager was sidelined because of a stinger.
