The Facts: It looks like the Rams have lost Pead for the season with a knee injury. Pead suffered what is believed to be a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee returning a first quarter kickoff after a Packers touchdown. “It’s very tough for him,” coach Jeff Fisher said.

Diehards Line: Pead missed the preseason opener against New Orleans with what was thought to be a bruised hand. Turns out it was a fractured finger, Fisher revealed after the Rams’ 21-7 loss to Green Bay.“He was fighting back — he had surgery on his finger,” Fisher said. “We pinned it. He was excited about getting an opportunity (vs. Green Bay). It’s unfortunate that that happened. So we’ll just hope for the best as far as that’s concerned.” It appeared that Pead’s foot got caught in the turf as he made a jump-cut on a 33-yard return. There was no contact on the play. The Rams kept five running backs last season and still have five healthy backs on the roster in Zac Stacy, Benny Cunningham, Tre Mason, Chase Reynolds and Trey Watts.
