Rams put Aqib Talib on IR; CB has to miss at least 8 weeks if he returns

THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. -- The Los Angeles Rams placed cornerback Aqib Talib on injured reserve Wednesday.

Talib will undergo ankle surgery Thursday after he suffered a high-ankle sprain in a victory over the Los Angeles Chargers.

"It's unfortunate," Rams coach Sean McVay said about Talib's injury earlier this week.

McVay was unable to provide a specific timeline for Talib's return, but the 11th-year pro will be sidelined for at least eight weeks on injured reserve.

Cornerback Marcus Peters is questionable to play Thursday after he suffered a calf strain against the Chargers.
