The Los Angeles Rams have placed starting left guard Steve Avila and starting left tackle Joe Noteboom on injured reserve, sidelining both offensive linemen for at least four weeks, according to the team's official website.

Avila sprained his MCL in the Rams’ Week 1 matchup with the Lions. Noteboom had to be carted to the locker room during the same game with an ankle injury.

The Rams also signed veteran cornerback Ahkello Witherspoon to their practice squad for some added secondary depth.
