Brandin Cooks will travel to Pittsburgh to see a concussion specialist, according to Sean McVay.

Cooks has suffered four concussions since Super Bowl LII and two in the last month.

"He's feeling good," McVay said. "He's very aware of what's going on and he can talk about what occurred pre-concussion. He's aware . ... We are going to send him to a specialist. He's actually on his way there in Pittsburgh. I'm trying to see if we can get a little bit more clarity, because most important is Brandin Cooks as a human being right now, not necessarily the football player. Let's get a better idea of what's exactly is going on, so that we can at least make the best decision for him moving forward. Hopefully, being able to do that will give us some answers we'll find more information about that."

The Los Angeles Rams have traded Aqib Talib and a fifth round pick to the Miami Dolphins for a conditional pick.

Talib was placed on injured reserve earlier this month due to fracture ribs. Talib could return by Week 15.

Talib is in the final season of his deal with approximately $4.2 million remaining.

The Los Angeles Rams acquired Jalen Ramsey last week from the Jacksonville Jaguars in a deal that some in the NFL compare to the type of transaction now typically seen within the NBA. Ramsey sought a trade from the Jaguars over several weeks and the Rams finally traded their 2020 first round pick along with first and fourth round picks in 2021.

“The NBA is coming to the NFL," said Rams Chief Operating Officer Kevin Demoff. "This [the Ramsey trade] is a similar case to those NBA deals.

“Prior team-building formulas, where you basically had guys for their careers, is pretty much over,” he said. “Think of the guys who’ve moved in the past year. Khalil Mack. Marcus Peters. Jalen Ramsey. Jarvis Landry. Laremy Tunsil—”

Bill Polian believes the younger generation of general managers are more transactional.

“I think this generation of GMs might be a little more transactional," said Polian. "It used to be not many GMs thought about taking risks. They were from a generation where their parents might have grown up in the Depression, or remembered the Depression. Life was hard enough without taking risks. Today, the idea that you can make these decisions and change your team quickly is inculcated in this generation. I’m not sure of that, but it seems to be true.”

There have clearly been a spike in trades this season.

2009: 39 trades in the calendar year, involving 50 players. Seven traded players were Pro Bowlers at least once.

2019: 54 trades (with eight days left in the period), involving 69 players. Thirteen have been to at least one Pro Bowl.

The Los Angeles Rams have traded Marcus Peters to the Baltimore Ravens for linebacker Kenny Young and a draft pick in 2020.

The pick will reportedly be a fifth-rounder.

Peters is in the fifth and final year of his rookie deal.

The trade came one day after the Rams placed Aqib Talib on injured reserve and a few hours before they landed Jalen Ramsey from the Jacksonville Jaguars.

The Los Angeles Rams will acquire Jalen Ramsey from the Jacksonville Jaguars for three draft picks, according to sources.

The Jaguars will receive first-round picks in 2020 and 2021, and a fourth-round pick in 2021.

The Los Angeles Rams have traded Marcus Peters to the Baltimore Ravens for Kenny Young.

Peters is in the final season of his existing contract.

The Rams also placed Aqib Talib on injured reserve this week.

The Los Angeles Rams have lost three straight games, but Jared Goff is confident they'll figure things out.

"It's a gut check," Goff said. "Are you who you say you are? I know who this team is. ... We're going to get right back on track."

The streak marks the first time since Sean McVay was hired as coach in 2017 that the Rams have lost three in a row.

"Was it a humbling day for us? Absolutely," McVay said. "But it's something that we're going to learn from. We're not going to let it demoralize us."

Goff passed for a career-low 78 yards, completing 13 of 24 passes. He was sacked four times.

Todd Gurley didn't practice on Wednesday because of what the Los Angeles Rams are calling a thigh contusion in his left quadriceps.

Gurley is considered day-to-day for the Rams' Week 6 game against the San Francisco 49ers.

"It kind of caught us all off guard," Sean McVay said of Gurley's injury. "He's so tough and he plays through so many different things."

Gurley rushed for 51 yards and two touchdowns on 15 carries against the Seattle Seahawks last Thursday.

Cooper Kupp tore his ACL last season and is faster since his recovery.

Kupp studied video of his form to eliminate the imperfections in his stride. Kupp is now between 1.5 miles per hour and two miles per hour faster than he was before his injury.

“It’s a little crazy,” said Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who performed the ACL reconstruction. “We’ve never had this GPS data until the last few years, but I can tell you that’s typically not the way it goes the first year back. He’s surprising everybody.”

The Los Angels Rams will be without Clay Matthews for at least a month due to a broken jaw.

"I know it's going to be at least a month," McVay said.

McVay said Matthews was kicked in the jaw by Chris Carson near the end of the game.

Matthews had a controversial personal foul penalty in the fourth quarter of the Rams' loss at the Seattle Seahawks when he hit Russell Wilson.

Matthews signed  a two-year, $9.25 million contract over the offseason.
