The St. Louis Rams already had plenty of issues along the offensive line, but those problems are even greater now after an injury to starting offensive tackle Jake Long. Early in the team’s Week 16 match up against Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Long suffered a leg injury that forced him to be carted off of the field.

After staying down for several minutes and having his right leg attended to, Long was able to stand under his own power. However, he made it no further than the cart, which took him to the locker room.

Long has started every game for the Rams so far this season, but the injury could put his status for the final game of the season in jeopardy.

There has been no official update on the long injury.
