“Now that he’s back on the Rams’ active roster, Hopkins likely will slot in as the team’s No. 2 tight end behind Tyler Higbee in front of Kendall Blanton. In two games this season, Hopkins didn’t receive a target while playing eight snaps on offense and six more on special teams.”

So the run game, it truly takes all 11, and we are not executing, whether it be one player here or a couple players. It’s been a challenge and it’s something that has really hurt us.”
