One of the biggest issues for the Rams on Sunday against the Vikings wasn’t their porous run defense, or their stagnant offense. It was the fact that they were down two of their top three cornerbacks for much of the game, pushing Dominique Hatfield and Blake Countess into far greater roles.

It didn’t help that Stefon Diggs and Adam Thielen were on the other side, combining for one of the best duos in the NFL.

The injuries to Kayvon Webster (concussion) and Nickell Robey-Coleman (thigh) were substantial blows for the Rams, and it’s no wonder why Thielen had a huge game against L.A.’s backup cornerbacks.

Depth hadn’t been an issue for the Rams at all this season, given their lack of significant injuries, but it was tested on Sunday, and Sean McVay knows it.

“That definitely is a concern – especially you look at a top offense that we’re getting ready to play this week,” McVay said of the Rams’ cornerback depth. “We have been fortunate in that manner that we haven’t had a lot of guys miss games that have been in those starting roles, but it looks like that is going to end up occurring.”

It didn’t help the Rams that Troy Hill was one of their inactives against the Vikings, depleting their cornerback depth even more. McVay said on Monday that Hill will be back in Week 12 against the Saints, which is a big lift in the event that Webster or Robey-Coleman can’t go.

“Obviously we know that Drew (Brees) is a Hall of Fame quarterback and you look at the playmakers that they spread it around to and also the one-two punch with (Alvin) Kamara and (Mark) Ingram is special, and that’s why they’re playing as well as they are offensively,” McVay said.

As for Webster and Robey-Coleman, it’s unclear if they’ll be available against the Saints. McVay said Webster “seemed like today he was in good shape,” while they’ll monitor Robey-Coleman as the week progresses.
