Offensive lineman Joe Noteboom will have season-ending knee surgery, safety John Johnson will have an MRI exam for a shoulder injury that could possibly require surgery, and cornerback Aqib Talib is headed to injured reserve, McVay said Monday. AdvertisementTalib did not play against the 49ers because of rib fractures suffered during the Rams’ loss to the Seattle Seahawks the week before. Jamil Demby or possibly rookie David Edwards could start in place of Noteboom, Marqui Christian would start in place of Johnson and Troy Hill will continue to start in place of Talib, McVay said. “It’s a big loss,’ McVay said of Noteboom. In 2018, Talib suffered an ankle injury in the third game against the Chargers and did not return until Dec. 2 against the Detroit Lions.
