THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. — The Los Angeles Rams cling placed punters Johnny Hekker and Corey Bojorquez on the reserve/COVID-19 checklist, the crew announced Saturday.
That leaves the Rams with out a punter listed on the roster for a Week 2 preseason game in opposition to the Las Vegas Raiders on Saturday night at SoFi Stadium.
The Rams did no longer right away deliver who would perhaps well relieve as a reserve punter.
For a fourth consecutive year, Rams coach Sean McVay has opted no longer to play starters in preseason motion, and this year he has taken it a step extra, resting diverse key reserves as wisely.
Quarterbacks Matthew Stafford and backup John Wolford will no longer play in opposition to Las Vegas.
It is that that it is likely you’ll deem that McVay would perhaps well test the fourth-down capabilities of backup quarterbacks Bryce Perkins and Devlin Hodges with out a punter.
A fourth-year pro signed over the offseason, Bojorquez has been engrossing the four-time All-Pro Hekker for the space.
Both punted twice in a 13-6 preseason loss to the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 1. Hekker averaged 45.5 yards per punt, and Bojorquez averaged 43.
