The Los Angeles Rams are set to unveil a significantly altered starting lineup in their upcoming game against the Seattle Seahawks, as head coach Sean McVay announced several key players will be sidelined. Notable absentees include wide receivers Puka Nacua and Cooper Kupp, running back Kyren Williams, offensive tackle Alaric Jackson, and guard Kevin Dotson, all listed as doubtful. Additionally, Rob Havenstein will miss the game due to a shoulder injury.
McVay described the situation as 'unique,' emphasizing the importance of caution with the health of his players. He indicated that while the team has generally remained healthy, the decision to rest certain starters is strategic. In light of this, McVay revealed that quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo will lead the offense, supported by running backs Blake Corum and Cody Schrader, along with some backup offensive linemen.
On the defensive front, McVay opted for a more reserved approach in detailing the lineup changes, hinting at the opportunity for younger players to gain valuable game experience. This strategic adjustment reflects the Rams' focus on development while navigating the challenges of player health.
