Los Angeles Rams left tackle Joe Noteboom (ankle) was carted to the locker room during the first half of Sunday's game against the Detroit Lions. All of a sudden, the Rams are struggling to stay healthy as they deal with injuries throughout their offensive line. Wide receiver Puka Nacua (knee) and cornerback Darious Williams (hamstring) are also banged up. Noteboom has a lengthy injury history as he tore his ACL and MCL in 2019, dealt with a calf issue in 2020, and tore his Achilles in 2022. The Rams will task AJ Arcuri with more reps at left tackle until Noteboom can return.
The Los Angeles Rams agreed to a three-year deal with a base value of $40 million with offensive tackle Joe Noteboom on Monday, according to sources. The deal includes $25 million guaranteed with a maximum value of $47.5 million. With veteran left tackle Andrew Whitworth leaning toward retirement after winning the Super Bowl, Noteboom is expected to replace him as the starting left tackle on quarterback Matthew Stafford's blind side. The 26-year-old suffered a pectoral strain in the playoff win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but he should be fine for the 2022 season. He's also extremely versatile with the ability to play both tackle and guard.
