Placed on IR Mundt (knee) was moved to injured reserve Tuesday after suffering a season-ending torn ACL on Sunday.
Impact The season is over for the 26-year-old, who will finish the season with just one catch for nine yards. He was used as a depth option at tight end this season behind Tyler Higbee, who will continue to garner the lion's share of action at the position moving forward.

Who will Rams use to replace Johnny Mundt at TE? Johnny Mundt is out for the season, so the Rams need a new No. 2 tight end. Will it be Jacob Harris, Brycen Hopkins or someone else?

Done for year Mundt will miss the remainder of the 2021 season after suffering a torn ACL, J.B. Long of the Los Angeles Rams Radio Network reports.
Impact Mundt suffered the injury during Sunday's blowout victory over the Giants, and it'll cost him the rest of the season. He'll finish 2021 with one catch for nine yards on one target over six games.

Downgraded to out Mundt (knee) has been ruled out of Sunday's game against the Giants, Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Mundt picked up a knee injury, and it seems the issue is serious enough to rule him out for the remainder of this contest. Expect Tyler Higbee to see most of the offensive snaps at tight end, while Jacob Harris could take Mundt's place as a blocker.

Dealing with knee injury Mundt (knee) is questionable to return Sunday at the Giants, according to Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic.
Impact It remains to be seen if Mundt returns to the game, though his absence might not have a big effect on the Rams' game plan for this one. Expect Tyler Higbee to see most of the offensive snaps at tight end, while Jacob Harris could take Mundt's place as a blocker.

Avoids injury designation Mundt (shoulder) doesn't have an injury designation for Thursday's game against the Seahawks.
Impact Mundt came out of Sunday's loss to the Cardinals with a shoulder injury, but he was able to put in a full practice Wednesday and avoid the questionable tag. The 26-year-old primarily works as a blocker and has one catch for nine yards through the first four games of 2021.

Grabs first catch of season Mundt had a nine-yard reception during Sunday's 37-20 loss to Arizona.
Impact Primarily deployed as a blocker, Mundt's fantasy value is limited. He's caught just 10 passes through his five-year career, after all. Additionally, even if No. 1 tight end Tyler Higbee were to miss time, it's unlikely Mundt would emerge as a consistent contributor in the passing attack.

Another quiet campaign Mundt caught all four of his targets for 53 yards during the 2020 regular season. He played just 121 offensive snaps.
Impact The fourth-year tight end has been deployed primarily in a blocking role throughout his tenure with the Rams, and that's unlikely to change if he returns to the organization next season. Mundt is a restricted free agent this offseason.

No targets in Week 11 Mundt didn't receive a target in Monday's 27-24 win over the Buccaneers.
Impact Mundt achieved fantasy relevance once this year with Tyler Higbee out of the lineup in Week 7, as he caught three passes for 48 yards. When Higbee and Gerald Everett are both active, however, Mundt has averaged just 4.7 snaps on offense per game. His main contributions will be delivered on special teams moving forward.

Johnny Mundt once again steps up vs. Bears In each of the Rams' last two wins over the Bears, tight end Johnny Mundt has been a key contributor.
OCTOBER 28, 2020 • THERAMS.COM
Three grabs Monday Mundt caught all three of his targets for 47 yards during Monday's 24-10 win over the Bears. He played 46 of 72 offensive snaps.
Impact With Tyler Higbee (hand) out of the lineup, Mundt took advantage of an extended role, and his 34-yard reception in the second quarter was the longest offensive play of the game for the Rams. However, fellow tight end Gerald Everett was targeted a season-high five times and scored a touchdown, and will probably remain more involved in the passing game. If Higbee returns in Week 8 against the Dolphins, Mundt will likely revert back to a depth role and receive limited playing time.

Rams dominate matchup of tough defenses, beat Bears 24-10
The Los Angeles Rams won a matchup of dominant defenses, beating the Chicago Bears 24-10OCTOBER 27, 2020 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Catches first pass of 2020 Mundt played 11 offensive snaps and caught his only target for five yards during Sunday's 17-9 win over the Giants.
Impact This is only the sixth career reception for the fourth-year tight end, so fantasy managers should continue to look elsewhere for production at the position. Mundt has carved out a blocking role for the Rams, but he's still playing sparingly with just 22 offensive snaps through four games.
