The injury bug has hit the Rams’ offensive line hard recently, with four men on the unit going down with significant injuries in the last two weeks. Jamon Brown and Darrell Williams were placed on injured reserve following St. Louis’ loss to Chicago, with Rob Havenstein suffering a calf injury in the same contest. And now Andrew Donnal could be out for a few weeks with an MCL sprain sustained against the Ravens.
But with those injuries comes opportunities for younger linemen. Cody Wichmann got his first start last week at guard and Demetrius Rhaney played at guard, too, following Donnal’s injury in the second quarter.
