IRVINE, Calif. -- Dominique Easley's 2016 season was a minor miracle. Four of his five prior seasons ended prematurely because of injury. In 2011 and '13 at the University of Florida, he tore ligaments in his knees. In 2014 and '15, he landed on injured reserve right around the middle of December. But there he was in 2016, playing in every single game for the Los Angeles Rams and providing the type of disruption that his former team, the New England Patriots, could only dream about.
Easley's 2017 season ended because of a torn ACL on Tuesday, four days into the Rams' training-camp schedule and more than a month before their games start counting.
The juxtaposition epitomizes a larger issue: The Rams were uncommonly healthy throughout an otherwise disheartening 2016 season, and they might not be again.
Stuff like this usually regresses to the mean.
