Rams' Sean McVay Shares Return Timeline for Rookie OL Keagen Trost

Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay revealed that rookie offensive tackle Keagen Trost will miss several weeks due to a hamstring injury, casting doubt on his availability for the season opener. However, McVay expressed optimism that Trost could return before the team's first game in Australia against the San Francisco 49ers in three weeks.

If Trost is not recovered by then, David Quessenberry will step in as the swing tackle. Fellow X user Nate Atkins noted that Trost is expected to join the team in Australia and could start as the third offensive tackle behind Alaric Jackson and Warren McClendon. As a third-round draft pick, Trost's inclusion in the 53-man roster is guaranteed.

Nevertheless, his strong performances in training camp have established him as the frontrunner for the OT3 role. The rookie's situation is further complicated by the potential suspension of Alaric Jackson due to a domestic violence arrest in June.
