Summary

Rams Seek WR Trade

The Rams must explore the trade market before the Nov 10 deadline to replace cornerback Adams.
Potential wide-receiver targets include Garrett Wilson (NY Jets), Brian Thomas Jr. (Jaguars), Jordan Addison (Vikings) and Chris Godwin Jr. (Buccaneers).
Kicker Blake Grupe was placed on injured reserve with a torn ACL after tackling on a second-quarter kickoff.

History

Historical Context

After Peyton Manning missed the entire 2011 season with neck surgery, the Indianapolis Colts fell to 2-14, signed veteran Reggie Wayne—who still posted 1,000 receiving yards—and used the 2012 No. 1 draft pick on Andrew Luck. The Rams’ current IR crisis echoes that 2011-12 Colts overhaul, showing how mid-season injuries reshape rosters.
