Jason Taylor II made his debut with the Los Angeles Rams in Week 1 versus the Seattle Seahawks, but he’ll be sidelined for Sunday’s game against the San Francisco 49ers. On Friday, the Rams placed Taylor on the team’s injured reserve list ahead of Week 2.

• Reserve/Injured DB Jason Taylor II— Los Angeles Rams (@RamsNFL) September 15, 2023
The rookie safety picked up the groin injury while contributing on special teams in the Week 1 win over the Seahawks. Taylor logged 16 total snaps on Sunday against the Seahawks and all of those came on special teams.
The Rams spent a seventh-round pick on Taylor in this year’s draft to give them more depth at the safety position. But after bringing back veteran John Johnson III, Taylor’s role was shifted to special teams, barring an injury.
Throughout the week, the first-year safety was limited in practice due to his groin injury. With Taylor headed to injured reserve, he’ll miss a minimum of four games for the Rams.
