Los Angeles Rams: Full Report-Card Grades for Weeks 1 through 4

Linebackers

Grade: B

I’ll be combining the Rams outside linebackers, with the inside linebackers into one group.

First, the outside linebackers have stepped up a bit, despite being unproven. With Samson Ebukam and Dominique Easley starting to begin the year, they’ve done a decent job.

Now, they’ve lost Easley to injury, making them very hopeful that Obo Okoronkwo can return from his injury after Week 6.

They will need guys to step up with the hole they have at OLB, leaving room for Matt Longacre likely to get more snaps.

At inside linebacker, Cory Littleton has really stepped up this season. They were going to need someone to fill in the hole Alec Ogletree left when he was traded.

Littleton has filled in remarkably, having 35 tackles so far, making him tied eighth in the NFL in tackles.

The Rams will likely be getting Mark Barron back this week, where he will make his 2018 debut.

After a few weeks with Barron in the lineup, we’ll definitely get a grasp on how the linebackers will perform the rest of the year.
