Could TE Hunter Long start season on PUP list, miss first 4 games?

The Los Angeles Rams should be encouraged by Davis Allen’s big breakout in his NFL debut this weekend against the Las Vegas Raiders—the rookie hauled in all eight of his targets for over 50 yards.

With Allen now solidly in the picture, the TE pecking order is now coming into shape. Veterans Tyler Higbee and Brycen Hopkins have not played this preseason, which is a sign they are locks to make the roster. That leaves Hunter Long as the apparent fourth tight end.

Long was acquired this offseason as part of the return capital from the Miami Dolphins in the Jalen Ramsey trade, but he’s yet to practice outside of minicamp with his new team in Los Angeles.
