Earlier in the day, starting cornerback Aqib Talib told ESPN that he would be placed on injured reserve due to fractured ribs. Noteboom had struggled this season, grading out as the 75th of 76 qualifying offensive guards by Pro Football Focus. Talib first landed on the Rams’ injury list last week after hurting his ribs in a loss to the Seattle Seahawks and missing practice during the week. Talib, 33, will be eligible to return in eight weeks, before the Rams’ Dec. 15 game against the Dallas Cowboys. His two-year, $19 million contract with the Rams expires after this season.
