2017 Rams Roster Preview: OL Pace Murphy Looks To Repeat

[BonifayRam]

Donnal gets injured way too often for us to be able to count on him unfortunately.

If he gets injured in training camp he could well be gone.

Does Donnal get injured more than the rest of the Rams OL 'ers ? Brown has been injured both of his seasons and placed on IR. What about Safford ? Darrell Williams has been on the IR the last 2 seasons. Havenstein was injured the entire 2016 season. Donald was active for all 17 weeks in 2016 season. Donnal has not been placed on any NFL IR list to date. Who could replace AD's ability to play 4 OL posts?

Saffold and Brown have been consistent starters when they were injured.

Donnal is getting injured in spot duty as a backup.

So yes, on a per snap basis, Donnal is getting injured too often.

Also he was injured in college and Brown and Saffold didn't seem to have that problem.

Don't get me wrong.
I'm pulling for Donnal to stay healthy and be an All-Pro tackle.

But in final cut downs you can't make the club from the tub.
