The Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay confirmed that cornerback Derion Kendrick suffered a torn ACL during Wednesday’s team practice. “Unfortunately, Derion Kendrick did get his ACL yesterday,” he confirmed.
“I’m really proud of the way that he’s worked. He’s continued to really mature in a lot of different ways and if there’s one thing you know about this guy, he can handle setbacks. He’ll have a lot of support from his teammates and coaches and he’ll attack the rehab.”
McVay added that Kendrick is set to undergo surgery in the next couple of weeks. Adding to the Rams’ injury concerns is Darious Williams, who appeared to go down injured during the last play of the following practice session. While McVay did not have a status on Williams, he explained that he felt pain in his hamstring.
Given Kendrick’s importance in the team, McVay was asked by reporters whether he was considering adding another cornerback to his roster ahead of the upcoming season. The Rams head coach explained that while there is a possibility, he remains impressed by the current cornerback group and their work over the first two days of practice.
