Rob Havenstein left practice with a stinger but is expected to be OK

Rams RT Rob Havenstein suffered a stinger in practice on Thursday and did not return, but Sean McVay expects him to be OK.

The Rams shuffled their offensive line constantly last season but the one steady presence up front was Rob Havenstein. They hope he can stay healthy again in 2023 and though he left practice early on Thursday with an injury, he’s expected to be OK.

Sean McVay told reporters after practice that Havenstein got “a little stinger in his neck” but it doesn’t sound like anything the Rams need to be overly concerned with.

“I think he’s OK. I was just talking to him before I came out here. Just a little stinger in his neck is what the early prognosis is,” McVay said.

Havenstein is locked in as the starting right tackle, which was the only O-line spot that was already settled before spring workouts even began. Logan Bruss has been backing him up but there’s a steep drop-off from Havenstein to the reserve players so the Rams need him to stay healthy all year.
