Scalamania Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 Quote Rams defensive end Dominique Easley might have sustained a knockout blow to his playing career. Having already suffered a pair of torn ACL injuries in college, Easley made it through 16 games (no starts) with the Rams in 2016, logging 3.5 sacks, 24 solo tackles and a pair of forced fumbles. It was by far his best year in the NFL after two seasons with the New England Patriots. http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000824418/article/dominique-easley-out-for-2017-after-suffering-torn-acl Haven't followed his professional career but he was damn good when he was on the field at UF - hate to see see a Gator go down and with a possible career ending injury Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coors Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 Awful news. That guy was an absolute beast at Florida before these injuries started to pile up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dome Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 He was obviously depth, how good is LAs depth there? Is this a big deal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aaron Donald and Michael Brockers. Then you have Louis Trinca-Pasat who was in a similar situation when he tore his ACL and MCL last season... he was a stud at Iowa so if he can overcome his injuries from last season they will still have a great rotation. Edit: Interestingly enough, this gives Donald that much more leverage in his holdout. It's urgent now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure he was the projected starter. Pretty sure he was too. I have read many articles calling him an under-rated performer next to Donald poised to have a huge year.

ChazStandard Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 Sad to hear, but fairly predictable. His knees were never going to hold up for long. Worst 1st round pick BB has ever made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrry32 Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 Said all off-season that we can't count on Easley. Not surprised this is the outcome. We'll be fine. Smart, Westbrooks, or LTP will likely step in. If not, there are still some decent 3-4 DEs on the street. Wade is quite good at his job, and Brock and Donald will make it easier for the third DL to get the job done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What am i missing on google here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bednarik60 Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 3 ACL tears tho, i don't see him coming back and if he does next year, he will probably be a life long back up if he doesnt' tear his ACL again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
