LOS ANGELES — The Rams placed starting cornerback Darious Williams on injured reserve Thursday, ruling him out for at least the first four games of the season.
Williams, who returned to the Rams this offseason as a free agent after two years with the Jaguars, pulled his hamstring during the first week of training camp. He had returned to practice of late and was a limited participant Wednesday.
Head coach Sean McVay said before practice Wednesday that Williams had not suffered any kind of setback in regards to the injury.
“He got his hamstring good earlier in camp, but he’s making progress,” McVay said.
Williams’ absence puts the Rams in a precarious situation at cornerback entering Sunday’s season opener against the Detroit Lions.
Third corner Decobie Durant is dealing with his own hamstring injury and has been limited for three consecutive practices. If he’s unable to play Sunday, the Rams could find themselves relying on undrafted rookies Josh Wallace and Charles Woods to start opposite of Tre’Davious White.
