Rams head coach Sean McVay said Monday that Long (knee) will require season-ending MCL surgery, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.
Long was carted to the locker room during Sunday's 37-31 overtime loss to the Ravens, and after getting follow-up tests, the Rams determined that he suffered a significant injury. While Tyler Higbee (neck) was sidelined for the Week 14 contest, Long had been poised to take on a larger workload before going down with an injury of his own. Rookie Davis Allen -- who caught four of five targets for 50 yards and a touchdown versus Baltimore -- and Brycen Hopkins are now the team's healthiest options at tight end, though Higbee could be ready to play in next Sunday's game against the Commanders. Long closes the 2023 season without any targets across 54 snaps on offense over four games.
