THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. (AP) — The Los Angeles Rams have placed 38-year-old left tackle Andrew Whitworth on injured reserve with injured ligaments in his left knee. Safety Taylor Rapp and kicker Kai Forbath also went on injured reserve with injuries sustained in the Rams’ 23-16 victory over Seattle last weekend. None of the injuries is thought to be season-ending. Whitworth will miss a game due to injury for the first time since 2013. Whitworth damaged the medial and posterior collateral ligaments in his knee when Seattle’s KJ Wright accidentally hit the side of Whitworth’s leg on a passing play.

Rapp is a former star at Sehome High School and the University of Washington. He hurt his knee against the Hawks.
