Rams Pass Rush Takes Hit As Dominique Easley Hits IR
The Los Angeles Rams officially placed outside linebacker Dominique Easley (knee) on Injured Reserve on Tuesday. While their pass rush has been good the past couple of weeks, Easley returning was expected to improve that even more. The loss of Easley makes the team even thinner at the outside linebacker spot. Their defense is still a great play this week against a Seattle Seahawks offensive line that has given up 16 sacks this season. However, they may not rack up the totals they have had in the past couple of weeks, as their line may get tired later in the game with a shorter rotation.
With one defensive lineman holding out already, the Los Angeles Rams got the bad news on Wednesday that defensive lineman Dominique Easley will miss the entire season due to a knee injury. Easley was considered a starter that would have a major impact on the LA line, and his loss will handicap the group considerably. With superstar Aaron Donald still holding out for a new contract, the Rams find themselves in a precarious position regarding their defensive rotation. Easley's absence may make management more willing to deal with Donald now.
