Josh Wallace steps up for Rams following Jaylen Watson's injury
Summary

The Los Angeles Rams face a significant challenge as cornerback Jaylen Watson is out for the season due to a shoulder injury sustained against the Los Angeles Chargers. Josh Wallace, a recent addition to the team, is expected to fill the void in the secondary. Wallace has already played substantial snaps this season, ranking 10th among corners with at least 20% of maximum snaps. While he has performed well statistically, concerns persist about his penalty count. As the Rams consider their options, they must decide whether to trust Wallace as a long-term solution or seek outside help before the trade deadline.
