Los Angeles Rams rookie defensive lineman Braden Fiske will have surgery to repair a knee injury sustained in Sunday's loss to the Philadelphia Eagles.
Rams coach Sean McVay confirmed Thursday that Fiske was injured in the season-ending 28-22 divisional playoff loss, a game that saw the Rams put up a valiant effort but ultimately fall short against their opponents.
The injury to Fiske is a significant blow to the Rams, who were looking to Fiske to be a key contributor to their defensive line in the future.
Fiske, who was drafted by the Rams in the hopes of bolstering their defensive line, had been showing promise in his rookie season before suffering the injury.
While the exact nature of the injury has not been disclosed, it is clear that it is serious enough to require surgical intervention, and Fiske will likely be sidelined for an extended period of time.
The loss of Fiske is a setback for the Rams, but the team remains optimistic about their chances of making a deep playoff run in the future.
Despite the injury, the Rams are confident that Fiske will be able to make a full recovery and return to the field in the future.
In the meantime, the team will have to look to other players to step up and fill the void left by Fiske's absence.
The Rams have a number of talented players on their defensive line, and they will be counting on these players to help lead the team to victory in the future.
For now, the focus will be on Fiske's recovery, and the team will be wishing him all the best as he undergoes surgery and begins the long process of rehabilitation.
