Rams' Hunter Long: Snags pair of targets
Hunter Long secured both of his targets for 16 yards during Sunday's 24-19 loss to the Packers.While Long's 17 snaps on offense was a typical week of usage for the fourth-year tight end, the two catches marked his first two as a Ram. Starting tight end Colby Parkinson led the team with 13 targets, which he turned into seven catches for 52 yards. Fellow backup Davis Allen failed to secure his only target and was on the field for just three snaps, leaving Long as the primary backup to Parkinson heading into the Los Angeles Rams' Week 6 bye.

Rams' Hunter Long: Fails to make an impact
Hunter Long failed to bring in either of his two targets during Saturday's 13-9 victory against the Chargers.The battle to start the season as the No. 2 tight end behind Colby Parkinson while Tyler Higbee (knee) remains on the mend, seems to be leaning toward Davis Allen. Long hasn't done anything to make himself stand out over the second-year pro, and Allen showed enough when called upon in the latter half of the 2023 campaign to secure a roster spot. Long will likely be the tertiary option at tight end to start the year unless he breaks out in a big way against the Texans in the Los Angeles Rams' preseason finale, and he will likely struggle to find snaps on offense even before Higbee's eventual return.

Rams' Hunter Long: Done for season
Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay said Monday that Hunter 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.

Rams' Hunter Long: Carted to locker room
Hunter Long (knee) was carted to the locker room and is considered doubtful to return to Sunday's game against the Ravens, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.Long appears to have sustained a signficiant knee injury at some point during the first half, as his departure via a cart likely indicates he won't be available to return for the remainder of the contest. The third-year tight end appeared in just three game coming into Sunday, but his absence will now leave the Los Angeles Rams without their top two tight ends, as starter Tyler Higbee (neck) is already inactive. Brycen Hopkins and rookie Davis Allen will have to step into bigger roles for the time being.
