Sean McVay informed reporters on Monday afternoon that fourth year tight end Davis Allen is dealing with a quad injury in training camp. McVay did not provide a concrete timeline other than the injury is going to require "some time".
In all likelihood, Davis Allen misses at least the next two weeks with it being a soft tissue injury and the Rams typically being conservative with their injuries in training camp.
Allen has steadily carved out a role in Sean McVay's offense over the past several seasons. Whether serving as a reliable blocker, contributing as a pass catcher, or filling in whenever injuries have arisen, he has become a dependable member of the Rams' tight end room. Any missed practice reps can slow momentum, particularly during training camp when timing and chemistry are being refined before the regular season.
Fortunately for Los Angeles, this is one position where the roster is built to withstand a temporary setback.
While any injury to a player is unfortunate, the Rams can afford an injury like this at the tight end position because of the impressive depth they have ******* embled. Veterans Tyler Higbee and Colby Parkinson remain the leaders of the group, while Terrance Ferguson adds another talented option capable of making plays in the passing game.
