IRVINE, Calif. - Dominique Easley, the former first-round pick who projects to be a starter on the Los Angeles Rams' defensive line, had to be carted off the field after sustaining a knee injury during the team's first padded practice on Tuesday.

Rams head coach Sean McVay didn't have immediate word on the severity of the injury, but Easley was scheduled to undergo an MRI on Tuesday night. Easley has a long history of devastating knee injuries, prompting concern throughout the organization that his latest setback could be a significant one.

"We'll have an update on that later," McVay said after a practice that was cut about 15 minutes short because of nearby lightning. "He's going to get examined, and we're going to find out more specifically on what's going on with him."

Easley tore the ACL in both knees while in Florida, in 2011 and '13, then ended the 2014 and '15 seasons with the Patriots on injured reserve, first with an injured knee and then with an injured thigh.
