Ramsey has been bothered by a back injury and has not played since Week 3. There has been some speculation that he’d been using the injury as an excuse to avoid the Jacksonville Jaguars, and the fact that he’s apparently expected to play the week the Rams acquire him will only fuel those theories.

In spite of this, Ramsey had appeared on track to play for the Jaguars before being traded. Given how compromised the Rams would be in the secondary without him, they really need him to hit the ground running.
