Last year it was Micah Kiser, this year it’s Travin Howard.
For the second straight season, the Los Angeles Rams will be without a likely starter at linebacker. Sean McVay announced on Tuesday that Howard suffered a torn meniscus in practice last week and will need surgery. As a result, he’ll miss the entire 2020 season.
Rams HC Sean McVay said ILB Travin Howard tore his meniscus and will need season-ending surgery.
“It’s a big loss because of how well he’d been playing.”

Howard was projected to be a starter next to Kiser after playing well at the end of last season. He’s had a strong offseason and was putting together a great camp in Thousand Oaks, making this a devastating injury.
The Rams selected Howard in the seventh round of the 2018 draft out of TCU, where he was a safety before transitioning to linebacker in the NFL.
