THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. -- Los Angeles Rams linebacker Micah Kiser will undergo surgery on Tuesday for a pectoral injury, a Rams spokesperson said. No timeline has been determined for his return.
Kiser suffered the injury on Saturday in a preseason loss to the Dallas Cowboys at Aloha Stadium in Honolulu.
A second-year pro, Kiser was a projected starter at inside linebacker alongside Cory Littleton. Fifth-year pro Bryce Hager, who has contributed mostly on special teams the last four seasons, is now expected to fill the role.
"He's capable of being a starting player in this league," Rams coach Sean McVay said about Hager, before the results of Kiser's MRI were announced.
