Tight end Terrance Ferguson was supposed to be a key part of the Rams’ game plan against Washington.
Ferguson returned to practice ahead of Sunday’s matchup after missing several weeks with an ankle injury. The Rams appeared to be getting an offensive weapon back in the mix until Ferguson sustained a hamstring injury in Friday’s practice.
Head coach Sean McVay provided an update on Ferguson following the Rams’ win over the Commanders, saying the tight end would likely miss “another couple of weeks.”
Ferguson pulled his hamstring on an out route late in practice and because the Rams started his 21-day clock to be activated from injured reserve, he will have to return by Nov. 25.

“You can’t make it up, can you?” McVay said
The Rams have endured an unfortunate string of injuries to several key players, but the squad has remained resilient winning three straight games.
Ferguson’s return should prove to be a huge boost to the offense as he emerged as a reliable weapon for quarterback Matthew Stafford at the start of the season. The 23-year-old posted 63 yards on seven receptions with a touchdown across the first three games of the year.
Ferguson was just starting to heat up when he suffered an ankle injury in Week 3 and subsequently landed on IR. Now, there’s even more pressure for the pass-catcher to return as the Rams have already opened his 21-day practice window.
