The Rams lost more than just a game last night.
They’re now without a promising rookie starter for at least half the season, after safety T.J. McDonald suffered a broken lower leg.
According to Jim Thomas of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, the third-round pick will not need surgery, and will be placed on injured reserve/designated for return, which will allow him to return in eight weeks.
They’ll promote practice squad safety Cody Davis to fill his spot on the 53-man roster, with Matt Giordano likely to step into the starting lineup.
