New details emerge after Rams OL Conor McDermott had team tablet stolen from car
In the Rams-Raiders game, we had one of the stranger stories you’ll see this week. A report surfaced that LA Rams offensive tackle Conor McDermott had his car broken into. The problem was he had his team issued tablet in the car. And the tablet was stolen. But luckily, they tracked down the tablet and the Rams’ playbook is safe for now, according to the report from Melanie Collins of CBS.
Apparently, the thief hit five houses on McDermott’s street. They haven’t caught him yet, but the playbook should be safe, for now.
The Rams have had a rough 2024 so far. Injuries decimated their offensive line for the first few weeks of the season. They managed to pull out a win against the Raiders on Sunday, moving their overall record to 2-4.
McDermott was placed on injured reserve on August 28th. He signed with the Rams on August 6th, 2024.
