Brian Allen to miss rest of LA Rams season with injury
Tuesday 12 November 2019 09:07, UK
The Los Angeles Rams have lost centre Brian Allen for the rest of the season, while right tackle Rob Havenstein and wide receiver Brandin Cooks have been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Chicago Bears.
Allen, who has started nine games this season, suffered a medial ligament injury in Sunday's loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. Allen was a 2018 fourth-round pick out of Michigan State.
Havenstein could miss a couple of weeks due to a meniscus injury, while Cooks will miss his second consecutive game after suffering two concussions in October. Cooks had at least three previous concussions in the NFL before this season.
Austin Blythe moved from guard to center to replace Allen on Sunday, with Austin Corbett likely to enter the starting lineup this week at guard. David Edwards stepped in for Havenstein on Sunday, with Bobby Evans another possibility at right tackle.
The Rams (5-4) host the Bears (4-5) on Sunday night.
