Los Angeles Rams lineman Conor McDermott had an important item stolen from him recently — his team-issued iPad was taken from his car … and now law enforcement is investigating the matter.
TMZ Sports has learned … the 31-year-old former UCLA Bruin’s vehicle was in a residential area when his digital playbook was jacked.
No arrests have been made, but LAPD is working to track down the culprit.
Of course, it’s a bummer for McDermott — not only because of the monetary value, but because of the contents on the tablet.
Teams give out the electronics to players to study up for gamedays … and plays and game/practice footage are usually uploaded to them.
But whoever took the tablet won’t get all the Rams’ secrets … ’cause given Apple’s technology, anyone can wipe their devices remotely if a situation like this ever happens.

McDermott — a sixth-round pick in 2017 — played for the Buffalo Bills, New York Jets and New England Patriots before joining Los Angeles this offseason.
He famously had a one-yard touchdown in 2021 … the only reception of his career.
It’s another rough moment for Los Angeles — the team’s currently 1-4 on the season … but are currently on a bye week.
