Suspension:Kobie Turner has been suspended and sacked due to several…..
The Washington Commanders visit the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday, and the Rams’ roster lists the alma mater of up-and-coming defensive tackle Kobie Turner (No. 91) as Wake Forest. That’s only partially accurate.
Before becoming a Demon Deacon for the 2022 season, Turner spent five years at the University of Richmond, to which he arrived as a walk-on with no firm position. At UR, Turner was a three-time all-CAA selection, including two consecutive times on the first team (2021 spring, 2021 fall).
Carson Wentz flew out to sign with the Los Angeles Rams during their bye week last Wednesday and then rushed back home to North Dakota. Several hours later, his wife went into labor and eventually gave birth to their third daughter last Friday.
“It’s been a whirlwind,” Wentz said. “The whole offseason has been strange for me.”
The current week should be a lot less dramatic for Wentz, who returned to the West Coast last weekend to start his new job as Matthew Stafford’s backup. After being out of the NFL earlier this month, Wentz will be one snap away from playing when the Rams (3-6) host the Seattle Seahawks (6-3) on Sunday
Wentz spent seven years almost exclusively as an NFL starter whenever healthy, so he is in an unfamiliar role in an unfamiliar place. He is cramming with Sean McVay’s playbook and scrambling to get prepared for the opportunity that could present itself soon with the Rams, given Stafford’s recent injury history.
“I will say the NFL has a way of humbling everybody,” Wentz said. “It’s a process, but at the same time, I’m no dummy. I’ve seen it all. I know how this league works, and I know how last year ended. Didn’t play good enough, and so I was aware of what it could be. We all desire to be the guy playing, don’t get me wrong. I think everyone would be lying to you if I said different, but we also know our business.
“It’s a hard league, and just to be on a team around the guys is a blessing regardless.”
