Rams rule out crucial Matthew Stafford weapon while defense gets encouraging injury upgrade

Rams tight end Terrance Ferguson was on track to play in Week 9. But he suffered a hamstring injury in practice Friday, and Ferguson is now listed as “out” for Sunday’s game against the Commanders . The 23-year-old can’t seem to catch a break this season. Heading into the 2026 season, Ferguson was set to be a staple of the Rams’ offense. He proved to be a trusted weapon for quarterback Matthew Stafford through the first three games of the season. The Rams tight end’s performance looked promising as he tallied 63 yards on seven receptions with a touchdown.
