Rams injury updates: Brown out 5-7 weeks, Havenstein and Shelton are OK
The Los Angeles Rams had a few injury concerns coming out of their Week 5 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday, the biggest of which was Bobby Brown III. He left the game twice, the second time on a cart due to a knee injury.
Rob Havenstein and Coleman Shelton also exited early, though Shelton was able to return after a brief absence. He was taken to the locker room holding his hand.
On Monday, Sean McVay shared updates on the Rams’ primary injuries following their loss to the Eagles.
NT Bobby Brown III
Brown suffered a Grade 3 MCL sprain and will miss 5-7 weeks. McVay made that sound like better-than-expected news considering he’ll have a chance to return later this season.
Given that timetable, he’s a clear candidate for injured reserve, which would keep him out for at least four games.

Havenstein was pulled late in the game by the NFL’s spotter for a potential head injury but after a medical check, the right tackle is expected to be fine moving forward.
C Coleman Shelton
Shelton suffered a finger injury during Sunday’s game and was briefly replaced by Brian Allen. McVay said he “should be OK” for Week 6 against the Cardinals, a Sunday afternoon game at SoFi Stadium this weekend.
