Gary Gibson will miss the remainder of the season after suffering what Rams coach Steve Spagnuolo described as a broken foot/ankle.

This is a tough one for the Rams' defense. Adam Carriker is already on injured reserve.

The Rams do like to rotate their defensive linemen, though, and that could help them cover for Gibson's absence. Still, this one hurts. Gibson has generally played well.
