Sadly, Sean McVay announced that one of his important players had suffered a fatal injury.

Jacob Harris, a rookie wide receiver, tight end, and special team member for the Los Angeles Rams, “hurt” his ACL and MCL on Sunday Night Football against the Tennessee Titans, the team announced on Monday. Harris will be out of action for the rest of the season. Harris played on special teams in every game this season and took part in 15 offensive snaps.

The Rams selected Harris out of UCF with the goal of turning him from a wide receiver into a tight end, a move that will probably require several years of growth. Harris didn’t play tight end in college and didn’t start playing football until his senior year of high school. After placing Tutu Atwell on injured reserve and waiving DeSean Jackson last week, the team was hoping he would help bridge the gap at wide receiver.

With Harris out for the season, LA is even more lacking at tight end and receiver; however, he was also one of the most involved players on special teams, so going forward, someone else will have an opportunity. Regretfully, Jacob Harris won’t be wearing a Rams uniform until the following season.
