Jefferson will miss the Rams’ game against the Bills with a knee injury. Head coach Sean McVay said Jefferson is on a day-to-day basis right now, but he hasn’t practiced all week. Tutu Atwell and Ben Skowronek will likely fill in for Jefferson.
Jefferson played at Florida in 2018 and 2019 before being selected in the second round of the 2020 NFL draft. Last season, Jefferson recorded 50 catches for 802 yards and 6 touchdowns, helping the Rams secure a Super Bowl victory for the first time since 1999.
The Rams and Bills kickoff at 8:20 p.m. ET Thursday night.
