The Rams weren’t necessarily expecting any good news, but that doesn’t mean they’re not disappointed.

A league source tells PFT that Long has indeed torn his ACL, which will cost him the rest of the season.

That leaves two of the Rams’ highest-paid players in rehab for now, and limbo for the future.

They drafted Greg Robinson to be their left tackle of the future anyway, but there’s no such succession plan for quarterback Sam Bradford, whose ACL tear this year created the Rams’ biggest problem.
