The Los Angeles Rams will have to wait longer to get tight end Terrance Ferguson back on the field after he suffered another injury during his return to practice.
Head coach Sean McVay provided an update on Ferguson after Sunday's 20-13 win over the Washington Commanders in Week 8, indicating that the 23-year-old could remain out for another couple of weeks.
“Pulled his hamstring. You can't make it up, can you?” said McVay. “He was running just a standard out-cut, felt his hamstring pull and probably be another couple weeks for him.”
Rams head coach Sean McVay said Terrance Ferguson suffered his hamstring injury on an out route late in practice and imaging revealed it was a “pulled hamstring.”
Likely a grade-one hamstring strain.

Ferguson had recently returned to practice after missing five games with an ankle injury sustained in Week 3. However, his comeback plans took another hit when he injured his hamstring during Friday's session.
The timing of the setback is unfortunate for Los Angeles, as the Rams had already opened Ferguson's 21-day practice window to activate him from injured reserve. The team must add him to the active roster by November 25, otherwise, he will remain on injured reserve for the remainder of the season.
Ferguson is now expected to miss next Sunday's matchup against the Arizona Cardinals. Los Angeles then has a Week 11 bye before returning to action versus the Green Bay Packers in Week 12 on Thanksgiving Eve.
Ferguson had started developing into a familiar and reliable target for quarterback Matthew Stafford before his initial injury. Through his first three games of the season, Ferguson recorded seven receptions for 63 yards and a touchdown. His absence has become more consequential with wide receiver Davante Adams also unavailable.
Nevertheless, the Rams improved to 5-4 after taking down the Commanders, securing their third consecutive victory and moving above .500 for the first time this season.
