rest - http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/2...ms-least-monthTHOUSAND OAKS, Calif. -- Los Angeles Rams coach Sean McVay couldn't imagine a scenario where he would potentially lose both of his starting cornerbacks to injuries.
But that is potentially the case as the Rams (3-0) prepare to play the Minnesota Vikings (1-1-1) on Thursday night.
Aqib Talib suffered a high ankle sprain Sunday in a victory over the Los Angeles Chargers that will sideline him indefinitely, and Marcus Peters strained his calf and is questionable to play against the Vikings, McVay said.
"Hopefully we'll get him back at some point in time and he'll handle it the right way and do everything he can to get back sooner than later," McVay said about Talib, who will seek a second opinion on his ankle before undergoing surgery. "It is something we anticipate him getting back at some point. When that date would be, it's hard to say right now."
Question - if it is definitely a high ankle sprain, why would surgery be required?
