The Los Angeles Rams are looking to improve upon their 31st-ranked passing offense from a year ago by not only making changes to the offensive line, but also to the receiving corps. Robert Woods was the team’s big-ticket addition at wideout, coming over from the Bills to join Tavon Austin as one of the Rams’ starters.

However, Austin has gotten off to a slow start this offseason due to injury. After missing time due to wrist surgery, Austin has since been limited by a hamstring injury. He’s missed the last five practices because of the ailment, which coach Sean McVay is calling “a little bit of a setback.”

Offensive coordinator Matt LaFleur was a bit more concerned about Austin’s missed time but believes the fifth-year receiver’s experience will help him get through it.

“Tavon is a smart guy; he’s played in this league a long time,” LaFleur said, according to Alden Gonzalez of ESPN. “The thing that you’re missing out on is just getting that timing down with your quarterbacks. I think that’s kind of a big deal. But we have a lot of faith in his ability to bounce back and he’s very attentive in our meetings and when we’re out on the field, so he’s getting those mental reps.”

Austin figures to be Jared Goff’s primary target this season as Los Angeles’ No. 1 receiver. Considering how young and inexperienced Goff is, though, missing any reps at all is somewhat concerning.

Fortunately, Goff is getting valuable time with his other receivers. Woods, Pharoh Cooper and Cooper Kupp will all see playing time this season and are attempting to make the most of their increase in snaps. Cooper, for one, has been working with the first-team offense in Austin’s absence, which will only better his chances of contributing in 2017.
