ST. LOUIS (AP) -- St. Louis Rams guard Rodger Saffold will require season-ending surgery for a right shoulder injury.
Saffold was the most experienced player on the offensive line, which has two rookie starters. He was a second-round pick in 2010 and underwent surgery on his left shoulder last year.
Coach Jeff Fisher said Saffold received a second opinion on his latest injury and doctors agreed surgery was necessary.
The Rams (2-3) have a bye this week. Tight end Lance Kendricks underwent surgery this week for a torn ligament in his finger and Fisher said he is questionable for next weekend's game against Cleveland.
