Rams defensive lineman Louis Trinca-Pasat tore ACL, MRI confirms
Los Angeles Rams defensive tackle Louis Trinca-Pasat tore his anterior cruciate ligament during practice, a magnetic resonance imaging exam confirmed.
Trinca-Pasat is likely to be placed on injured reserve.
Trinca-Pasat didn't suffer damage to his bones, medial collateral ligament or other supportive tissues and ligaments.
Trinca-Pasat joined the Rams last year after going undrafted out of Iowa where he was a second-team All-Big Ten Conference selection. He had 6.5 sacks and 11.5 tackles for losses as a redshirt senior.
The former Chicago high school standout chose Iowa over Wisconsin, Michigan State and Stanford.
