Los Angeles Rams guard Justin Dedich is listed as out for training camp after suffering a hand injury around the Fourth of July. Multiple reports state that Rams head coach Sean McVay said Dedich is on the non-football injury list due to “a hand accident around the Fourth of July,” though the specific details of the injury were not publicly disclosed when the team made the move. The Rams opened training camp with Dedich on the non-football injury list without providing the nature of the problem.

Following McVay’s comments, some speculation focused on whether the incident was related to fireworks, given the timing around the holiday. However, one report indicates that the hand accident was not fireworks-related. Another account adds that McVay described the cause as an injury to Dedich’s hand, stemming from the incident occurring around the 4th of July. Collectively, the reporting agrees on the basic timeline and the injury type, while differing only in the level of detail and clarification regarding what the accident was connected to.
