Sadly it seems that Travin Howard’s 2020 season as a starting inside linebacker has gone the same way as Micah Kiser’s 2019 season as a starting inside linebacker. With the news from Sean McVay on Tuesday that Howard will miss the year with a torn meniscus, the Los Angeles Rams have to further examine what they will do at inside linebacker.
Howard had been taking many known reps with the 1s alongside Kiser and now the Rams final 53-man roster will look a little different.
Last season, the Rams had Cory Littleton as the mainstay with Troy Reeder getting the majority of snaps as the other true inside linebacker, but at only 27-percent of the defense’s total snaps of 2019.
