That's the scary part we don't know yet. Fingers crossed it's something minor, we need this dude to have a year.

Being a person who has had his share of foot surgeries, almost any surgery on the foot is going to take at the very least 6 weeks before you can put much weight on it, and at least another 4 weeks before you can run on it. So it would generally take 10 weeks of healing before any running, and since training camp will be here before 10 weeks are up, and with McVay saying Obo will be back during training camp, then, though it may be hard to believe, his injury most likely isn't that serious.

Okoronkwo to Miss Rest of Offseason Program with Foot Injury

Though most of the news from the Rams’ first OTA was quite positive, head coach Sean McVay shared one unfortunate piece of injury news: rookie outside linebacker Obo Okoronkwo suffered a foot injury and will be out until training camp.McVay said the injury did require surgery, which went well.
“With Obo, unfortunately he had a little foot injury. Got some surgery, but expect him to be back for training camp at some point,” McVay said. “When that timetable is, not exactly sure. But we’re excited about the way his surgery went last week and optimistic about him being able to make a return at some point. Not sure when that will be.”
The Rams traded up to select Okoronkwo at No. 160 overall in the fifth round. The outside linebacker recorded 33.0 tackles for loss and 20.0 sacks in his four seasons at Oklahoma. He is still expected to be a potential factor as a pass rusher in the defensive rotation for Los Angeles in 2018.

Injury. It’s always the biggest villain.It has struck again in the form of a broken foot for Los Angeles Rams rookie EDGE Ogbonnia Okoronkwo during practices in Phase II of the offseason program.
It’s a tough blow for fans who were expecting Okoronkwo to make a big splash as a rookie. Following the trade of OLB Robert Quinn and having not brought in any veterans to the position like re-signing OLB Connor Barwin or an oft-rumored acquisition of EDGE Junior Galette, the Rams certainly had room for a potential starting opportunity for Okoronkwo. While OLB Samson Ebukam and OLB Matt Longacre have been penciled in as the likely starters, there was always going to be a chance for Okoronkwo to break out in training camp and the preseason, a chance that looks diminished now. The timetable should have him back somewhere between the start of camp and the start of the regular season.
His absence should open snaps up for the rest of the EDGE depth chart, but we’ll have to see how things look throughout Phase III and into camp and how the rehab on his foot progresses
