The Story in 60 Seconds

The Los Angeles Rams remained largely quiet at the NFL trade deadline on Tuesday despite mounting wide receiver injuries and having the league's toughest remaining schedule. Rather than trading for prominent options such as Keenan Allen or Josh Downs, the Rams relied on internal options, only signing receiver Xavier Smith from the San Francisco 49ers' practice squad.

Injuries to Davante Adams and Puka Nacua leave head coach Sean McVay relying on Konata Mumpfield, Tutu Atwell, CJ Daniels, and Smith against the Arizona Cardinals. Meanwhile, division rivals made major upgrades, including the 49ers acquiring Allen and DeForest Buckner, and the Seattle Seahawks adding Quenton Nelson.
