The Los Angeles Rams finally made the expected move of placing Ogbonnia Okoronkwo on injured reserve Tuesday, which will sideline him for at least three weeks. Okoronkwo suffered an elbow injury against Washington in Week 5, which requires surgery to repair the issue.
Sean McVay said Okoronkwo will be out about 4-6 weeks, so at least it’s not a season-ending injury.
To take Okoronkwo’s spot on the 53-man roster, the Rams signed kicker Kai Forbath off the Bears’ practice squad.
Okoronkwo had received more playing time in the two games before getting hurt and seemed to overtake Samson Ebukam as the top edge rusher opposite Leonard Floyd. He had one sack and eight tackles before landing on IR.
