The Rams almost escaped their preseason opener unscathed, but nose tackle Bobby Brown left the game in the second half with what appeared to be a very painful ankle injury.
Brown had his right ankle rolled up on and was in visible pain. After coming to his feet, he was helped off the field by trainers and was putting almost no pressure on his right leg.
Sean McVay provided an initial update after the game, saying he believes Brown will be OK after talking to head trainer Reggie Scott. But McVay wants to wait for the final results before making an official designation.
“I think he’s gonna be OK. Other than just talking to Reggie initially, we’ll wait and see exactly, but he was somewhat optimistic. But I want to wait before I get the final results,” he said.
Brown has been suspended for the first six games of the regular season, but he’s eligible for the preseason, so these are critical games for him as he fights to make the roster once his suspension is lifted.
