APThe Rams picked up a big road win today, but lost a key member of their defense.
Outside linebacker Alec Ogletree had to be carted off the field in the second half of their win over the Cardinals, and he could be lost for the season.
According to Jim Thomas of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, Rams coach Jeff Fisher said Ogletree would need surgery to repair the damage to his ankle.
That likely means he’s at least headed for injured reserve/designated for return, if not the season-ending version.
That’s a significant blow for a defense which plays as fast and physically as any in the league, at least when they’re fired up for a division game.
He’s been a monster this year, will be a huge blow to lose him.
Because he’s with the Rams people aren’t familiar with him, but he’s one of the better outside LBers in the NFL
That’s terrible, he was on pace to be the game’s best linebacker this year. Speed and strength and a high motor. Unblockable.
Another pick from the RGIII trade bites the dust.
I remember when my Bears went 1st Round Kyle Long, 2nd Round Jon Bostic, I wanted them to instead go 1st Round Alec Ogletree, 2nd Round Larry Worford.
Even though I love Kyle Long, I would’ve preferred the second option.
Sucks to hear, I want our division full strength, get healthy man!
