Final Rams injury report for Week 10 places OL concerns back at center stage

Los Angeles Rams Center Note

The Rams are set to take on the Arizona Cardinals in Week 10, and they will be without starting center Brian Allen, who has been ruled out with a knee injury. Allen suffered the injury in the Rams' Week 9 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and he has not practiced this week.

Allen's absence is a major blow to the Rams' offensive line, which has struggled to protect quarterback Matthew Stafford this season. The Rams have allowed 25 sacks this season, which is the fourth-most in the NFL.

Backup Center Option

With Allen out, the Rams are expected to start Coleman Shelton at center. Shelton has started four games at center this season, and he has allowed two sacks.

Shelton is a solid backup option, but he is not as good as Allen. Allen is a more experienced player, and he is better at communicating with the rest of the offensive line.

Other Offensive Line Concerns

The Rams also have some other concerns on their offensive line. Right tackle Rob Havenstein is questionable to play with a knee injury, and left guard David Edwards is also questionable with a calf injury.

If Havenstein and Edwards are unable to play, the Rams will be without three of their starting offensive linemen. This would be a major blow to the Rams' offense, which has struggled to score points this season.

Conclusion

The Rams are facing some major injury concerns on their offensive line heading into Week 10. The absence of Allen and possibly Havenstein and Edwards would be a major blow to the Rams' offense.

The Rams will need to find a way to protect Stafford and generate some offense if they want to beat the Cardinals in Week 10.
