Following surgery Tuesday to repair a fractured fibula, Rams linebacker Alec Ogletree is gone but not forgotten on the practice field this week.
That's because Rams safety T.J. McDonald has been wearing Ogletree's jersey number _ 52 _ during practice.
"I'm just wearing it out here at practice trying to keep 'Tree's spirit alive out there while he's not with us," McDonald said. "While he's going through dealing with his injury and he's out of the building, I figured I'd keep it on in honor of him."
McDonald, of course, will continue wearing his usual jersey No.
