The Los Angeles Rams are now coming off a strong three-game winning streak. Their winning streak has elevated their record to a decent 9-7. Last week, the Rams showcased their abilities in a razor-thin 26-25 victory over the New York Giants. They are all ready to face the San Francisco 49ers at Levi’s Stadium. The 49ers, on the other hand, boast a solid 12-4 record.

They were the earliest ones to secure a playoff spot this season. They achieved this milestone back in Week 14. Meanwhile, the 49ers’ head coach, Kyle Shanahan, grapples with a significant injury list. This is an unavoidable challenge that the team has to navigate as they prepare for their subsequent encounter.

He also confirmed that a decision had been made regarding Ray-Ray McCloud III. He said, “He’ll be up,” while acknowledging an impending team roster move. The focus then shifted to Jason Verrett’s unfortunate injury. Shanahan described the incident: “He jumped up for a ball and just came down on his shoulder in awkward position.” He added, “He has to get rotator cuff surgery.”

Reflecting on Verrett’s challenging injury history, Shanahan expressed frustration without hesitating. He said, “It’s crushing for him… He was holding his arm in practice.” This revelation came after initial hopes that Verrett’s injury was not severe. As Shanahan went ahead to express the problems of the Niners, GM John Lynch came up with good news for the team at the same time.
