Los Angeles Rams kicker Blake Grupe exited Sunday’s game against the Arizona Cardinals early in the first quarter due to a knee injury. Grupe, who was making his debut for the Rams after replacing Harrison Mevis last week, successfully converted a 44-yard field goal before sustaining the injury.
The incident occurred on the kickoff following his field goal, when Grupe attempted to make a tackle and injured his knee. He required assistance from medical personnel to leave the field and was subsequently ruled out for the remainder of the game.
The injury came at a critical time for the Rams, as Grupe had recently taken over kicking duties. Further updates on his condition and potential impact on the team’s roster have not yet been disclosed.
