Rams' Dominique Easley: Undergoes knee surgery, could miss rest of season
Easley (knee) underwent surgery Monday, Vincent Bonsignore of The Athletic reports.
Although unofficial, it appears Easley's season is over. The Rams will likely address Easley's status in the coming days, but given the surgery, it seems more than likely that Easley will begin setting his sights on 2019. Employed mainly as a reserve linebacker, Los Angeles' on-field production shouldn't take too much of a dip without Easley.

Rams' Dominique Easley: Could be sidelined awhile
Easley (knee) could remained sidelined for a significant amount of time, Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.com reports.
Easley seems to have suffered a significant injury during the Rams' Week 3 victory over the Chargers. The 2014 first-rounder has a history of serious knee issues, so expect an update on Easley's health in the near future.

Rams' Dominique Easley: Promoted to active roster
Easley (knee) was promoted to the active roster Monday, Clarence Dennis of the team's official site reports.
Easley opened training camp on the Physically Unable to Perform list following the torn ACL he suffered last season. The news of activation is promising for the 2014 first-round pick looking to establish a career footing. While he's still buried on the depth chart, Easley could be evaluated more closely by the coaching staff this preseason given Aaron Donald's lingering holdout.

Rams' Dominique Easley: Opening camp on PUP list
Easley (knee) will begin training camp on the Physically Unable to Perform list, Rich Hammond of the Los Angeles Daily News reports.
Easley missed all of last season with a torn ACL and is nearing a return. However, he isn't ready for the start of camp, and he remains without a concrete return timetable. Look for Tanzel Smart and John Franklin to pick up extra reps along the defensive line as long as Easley remains out.

Rams' Dominique Easley: Recovering from more than ACL tear
Easley, who underwent surgery to repair a torn ACL last October, revealed Wednesday that he also underwent surgery to repair a damaged LCL in August.
Easley went down in the opening days of training camp last summer and spent the entire 2017 season on injured reserve. However, it's apparent that the full extent of his injury wasn't completely disclosed. In any case, the ACL injury is the main concern here and, given the timing of the injury, Easley should be at full strength in time for training camp in July. Assuming he makes a full recovery, Easley is poised to enter the 2018 season as a key rotational piece on a stacked Rams defensive line that added three-time first-team All-Pro Ndamukong Suh this offseason.

Rams' Dominique Easley: Torn ACL confirmed
Easley, who was carted off the practice field with a knee injury Tuesday, has suffered a torn ACL and is expected to miss the entire 2017 season, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports.
Easley was projected to compete for a starting spot on the Rams defensive line after a career season in 2016, when he racked up 35 tackles, 3.5 sacks and two forced fumbles. It'll be a daunting road to recovery for the 2014 first-round pick, having torn both of his ACLs during his collegiate years at the University of Florida. With Aaron Donald currently holding out for a new contract, the D-line may lack experience throughout the early stages of training camp.

He was looking to continue making strides in his second year with the Rams, but that may be on hold after his apparent leg injury. The team has not yet commented on his status, but getting carted off the field is always an ominous sign. He's currently without a timetable for return.
