During his press conference on Wednesday, Sean McVay explained that the Rams’ inactivity was mostly due to the fact that they expect to get key players like Nacua, Davante Adams and Terrance Ferguson back at some point. It wasn’t so much about the difficulty of onboarding players and having them learn a new playbook as it was about the expected returns of key starters.
βItβs not as much that [onboarding players] as it is getting guys back,” he said. “Who are those players that we would acquire? What does that look like? We’ve had a lot of unique things in terms of managing the 48, you’re 53, and the practice squad. This is as much as I can remember spending time with Les [Snead] in the early parts of the week for roster mechanics because it’s different than previous years where maybe you’ve had a high volume in certain positions. We’ve had a lot of different things across the board at a number of spots. The main thing is you’re hopeful that you’re getting some of these guys back sooner than later, rather than saying these guys are out for the year. We’re going to try to fill that void for the year.β
