Los Angles Rams Lose Another Offensive Lineman on MNF

The Los Angeles Rams will have to shuffle the interior of their offensive line yet again. Center Coleman Shelton exited the team's Week 4 Monday Night Football drubbing at the hands of the San Francisco 49ers with an ankle injury and did not return.

Rams Injury Update: C Coleman Shelton (ankle) has been ruled OUT.

Shelton was filling in for injured center Brian Allen, who has been out since Week 1 with a knee injury. The Rams are also without guard David Edwards and Tremayne Anchrunm Jr. Rookie guard Jeremiah Kolone replaced Shelton at center. It didn't go great: Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford was sacked seven times and the team managed a mere 57 rushing yards on 18 carries.

Coleman Shelton is ruled out by Rams after exiting with an ankle injury.

Already thin at OL (Shelton was a backup), the Rams are now playing with a third-string C who is actually a backup guard in Jeremiah Kolone.

And they’re facing a short week before the #Cowboys visit.

With a Week 5 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys looming, the Rams will likely need Allen to make a healthy return sooner than later if Strange is looking at an extended absence. Otherwise, Stafford's struggles could continue: the quarterback has thrown a league-high six interceptions and taken 16 sacks through the first four weeks of the regular season.
