The St. Louis Rams can’t catch a break. They’ve struggled in every aspect of the game in the last few years. In fact, last year they were so bad that they ended up with the number one pick in the draft. This year, too, is starting off on the wrong foot. According to sources close to the Rams, wide receiver Donnie Avery will miss the entire season after suffering a torn ACL in a preseason game on Thursday against the New England Patriots.

In the second quarter, Donnie Avery jumped for a pass and grabbed at his knee after landing. He had to be carted off the field and was obviously in pain. Rams head coach Steve Spagnuolo wasn’t optimistic when talking to the press after the exhibition game.

Said Spagnuolo: “Donnie probably has a significant knee injury. We will know a little bit more when we get the tests.”

Entering his third season, Donnie Avery had 100 catches for 1,263 yards and eight touchdowns in his first two years in the NFL. He was expected to be one of St. Louis’ main weapons on the offensive side of the football field this season … but that won’t happen after the torn ACL.

Here’s a Donnie Avery highlight video:
