Rams' 4-game skid, Stafford's injury make for bleak outlook
The Los Angeles Rams’ dismal season just keeps getting worse, and Matthew Stafford’s latest injury suggests it’s unlikely to get much betterNOVEMBER 21, 2022 • Associated Press
Payton Turner - Dealing with ankle sprain The Saints are labeling Turner as week-to-week after he was diagnosed Monday with a low-ankle sprain, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Impact Though the injury Turner suffered in Sunday's win over the Rams isn't as severe as initially thought, he'll still face an uphill battle to make it back for a Week 12 matchup with the 49ers. The 2021 first-round draft pick has thrived in a rotational role at defensive end the past four weeks, racking up 13 tackles and two sacks over that span.

Greg Gaines - Returns with pair of sacks Gaines logged two sacks during Sunday's 27-20 loss to the Saints.
Impact Gaines returned from a one-game absence due to an elbow injury and made an impact with his second and third sacks on the season, including breaking up a trick play with a big sack on Andy Dalton for a 13-yard loss. Gaines also saw a huge uptick on playing time, taking the field for 91 percent of the team's defensive snaps, a number he hasn't reached since Week 5.

Leonard Floyd - Two more sacks Floyd logged two sacks over five tackles (three solo) during Sunday's 27-20 loss to the Saints.
Impact Floyd's two sacks brings his total up to five on the season, all during the last four games. Floyd's sacks were on two different quarterbacks, as he brought down Taysom Hill in the first quarter and Andy Dalton in the fourth quarter. Floyd will have a much tougher task ahead in Week 12, as Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs potent offense lie in wait.

Bobby Wagner - Leads team in tackles Wagner recorded 11 tackles (four solo) in Sunday's 27-20 loss to the Saints.
Impact Wagner easily led the team in tackles, with Jalen Ramsey coming in second with just six. The veteran linebacker has been stuffing the stat sheet in recent weeks, with 33 total tackles and a sack in his last three contests combined.

Ben Skowronek - Just one catch in loss Skowronek secured one of four targets for four yards in Sunday's 27-20 loss to the Saints.
Impact It was another disappointing performance from the second-year wideout, who has just four receptions for 28 yards since the Week 7 bye. Despite playing the most snaps of any Rams wide receiver, Skowronek actually finished fourth on the team in targets and a distant seventh in receiving yardage. With Allen Robinson and Van Jefferson leading the team at wideout during the absence of Cooper Kupp (ankle), Skowronek's stock is trending down heading into a tough Week 12 matchup with the Chiefs.

Brandon Powell - Uptick in playing time Powell rushed once for minus-1 yard and caught both of his targets for 16 yards in Sunday's 27-20 loss to the Saints. He also returned two punts for nine yards and one kickoff for...
Impact Powell's lengthy kickoff return was critical in setting up Tutu Atwell's first career touchdown, a 62-yard bomb that kicked off scoring on the day for the Rams. More encouraging for Powell was the 20 snaps he saw on offense, his second most in a game so far this season. The Rams' primary return man may continue to enjoy a more expanded role on offense while Cooper Kupp (ankle) misses time.
