Fuller exits early

Rams rookie safety Fuller leaves game with shoulder injury.

The Rams thrived during the first two games this season with rookie Jordan Fuller starting at safety opposite John Johnson.

Fuller started again Sunday against the Buffalo Bills, but he left in the first half after suffering a shoulder injury and did not return.

Second- year pro Taylor Rapp stepped in for Fuller during the 35- 32 loss at Bills Stadium that dropped the Rams’ record to 2- 1. Rapp had seven tackles, and rookie safety Terrell Burgess had one.

Bills quarterback Josh Allen passed for four touchdowns and ran for another to help his team improve to 3- 0.

“There wasn’t any miscommunication,” said Rams coach Sean McVay when asked whether any communication issues existed after Fuller left. “Taylor Rapp has played a lot of good football. I think that’s the beauty of having some depth at the safety position.

“It’s like anything else, we’ll go back, we’ll look at the film and we’ll be able to clean up some stuff.”

Running back Darrell Henderson started for the f irst time and rushed for 114 yards and a touchdown in 20 carries. He also caught a pass for six yards.

Rookie Cam Akers did not play Sunday because of a rib injury suffered against the Eagles.
