In addition, Coach Sean McVay told reporters that DT Kobie Turner (groin) is headed to IR, DT Poona Ford (biceps) is out Via @RapSheet on X

What happened: Coach Sean McVay said defensive tackle Kobie Turner will go on injured reserve with a groin injury. Defensive tackle Poona Ford is out for the season with a biceps injury, and kicker Blake Grupe tore his ACL.

Why it matters: Losing interior defensive linemen at once forces immediate changes to the rotation. An opening at kicker alongside the line leaves separate depth needs to address.

What to watch: Further roster designations will confirm replacements along the line and at kicker.
