Three key veterans sidelined with injuries during a win over the Seahawks must miss at least four games, challenging the Rams amid their 5-game winning streak.

  • After injuries in the victory over the Seattle Seahawks, Quentin Lake underwent surgery Tuesday for a dislocated left elbow, while Tyler Higbee and Rob Havenstein face ankle and knee issues prompting IR moves.

  • Ian Rapoport reported the surgery was successful and Quentin Lake, safety has a strong chance to return later this season, potentially in the playoffs, vital for the Rams defense.
