Rams' Christian Rozeboom Dealing with Neck Injury

Wide receiver sits out Wednesday's practice after 'stinger' suffered against Buccaneers

Christian Rozeboom, a wide receiver for the Los Angeles Rams, suffered a "stinger" in his neck and shoulder during Monday night's game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Due to the injury, he did not participate in Wednesday's practice.

Rozeboom's Injury and Recovery Timeline Unclear

Rozeboom's exact diagnosis and recovery timeline are still unknown. Stingers are often caused by a nerve injury in the neck or shoulder, resulting in temporary weakness, numbness, or tingling in the arm. The severity of the injury can vary, and recovery time depends on the extent of the nerve damage.

The Rams' medical staff will continue to evaluate Rozeboom's condition and determine his availability for Sunday's game against the Dallas Cowboys. Head coach Sean McVay stated that the team will take a cautious approach to his recovery, ensuring he is fully healthy before returning to the field.

Rozeboom's Role on the Rams

Rozeboom primarily serves as a special teams contributor for the Rams and has also played a limited role on offense. He has recorded three receptions for 24 yards this season and has been a valuable asset on punt and kick coverage units.

If Rozeboom is unable to play on Sunday, the Rams may turn to other receivers like Tutu Atwell or Brandon Powell to fill his role on special teams. The team may also consider promoting a player from the practice squad to provide additional depth at the wide receiver position.
