Defensive tackle Michael Brockers has a high-ankle sprain, which means he could be sidelined for the first month of his rookie season.
Brockers was the No. 14 overall pick in last April's draft out of Louisiana State, and the Rams were pleased with what they had seen from him in training camp and the preseason.
Brockers had his right ankle encased in a cast almost up to the knee on Friday.
He suffered the injury in the first quarter of Thursday night's 31-17 victory over Baltimore when he was cut blocked on a running play.

CBS Sports' Jason La Canfora reports Rams first-round pick Michael Brockers' ankle injury should only cost him 2-4 weeks.
La Canfora's report indicates Brockers avoided a dreaded high ankle sprain. Whereas the Rams may have been without Brockers until Week 4, they may now get him back as soon as Week 2 or 3. St. Louis will struggle to stop running games as long as Brockers is missing from the lineup. Look for the Rams to turn to a rotation of Matt Conrath and Kellen Heard to replace him against Detroit.

At least it wasn't a fracture or something.
I've heard something similar too. That's great news. We really need him clogging up the middle, he does that better than anyone else on our team. I don't think the Lions are planning on running that much, but the next three weeks we got the Redskins, the Bears, and the Seahawks. Each one of those teams like to run and each one more than the previous one. We really need Brockers back for the Seahawks.libertadrocks said:Maybe better than originally believed:

the Lions sit Suh and we call it even? Just a Thought!
Deal. And you sit Megatron, because we had to release *our* 6'5" receiver.Iron Lion said:paceram said:Iron Lion - Since the Rams will apparently be playing without their top DT Michael Brockers this Sunday how about

Deal. But you have to sit Jackson and Pead because we don't have our top 2 RBs, okay?

No height advantages.

Yeah, but then we'd have to sit Langford as well. It's not fair to them, since they have Nick Fairley. And we'd have to sit Finnegan to make our corners more even...
