The Los Angeles Rams are a bit creative this season. The team has compensated for injuries to a limited number of wide receivers by flooding the football field with more and more tight ends. Head coach Sean McVay has a robust history of deploying tight ends in his offense. But he had not revealed many tight end innovations since taking over.
Circumstances changed in 2025, and McVay changed to accommodate the new parameters.
The arrival of rookie tight end Terrance Ferguson has been a small step in that direction, but it has proven to be a giant step in a new direction.
