The Los Angeles Rams made a trio of roster moves on Tuesday, all of which were expected. They placed Davante Adams and Poona Ford on injured reserve and signed kicker Brandon McManus to replace Blake Grupe.
Interestingly, they did not put Kobie Turner on IR yet, though Sean McVay said on Monday that the team will likely move him there at some point; he's expected to miss a "handful of weeks," as McVay put it.

Adams will be out 6-10 weeks with a ruptured hamstring, while Ford will miss the rest of the season with a torn triceps. Turner injured his groin in Sunday's loss but McVay didn't have an exact timetable for his return.
The Rams' injured reserve list is filling up. Adams, Ford and Grupe join Myles Garrett, Ronnie Rivers and others who are currently on IR. Adams, Garrett and Rivers are expected to return at some point, so the Rams will activate them down the road so they can suit up again in 2026.
McManus will be the Rams' third kicker in as many weeks. The team cut Harrison Mevis after his early-season struggles and replaced him with Grupe, who tore his ACL while making a tackle on a kickoff against the Cardinals.
