Rams' Tavon Austin out vs. Patriots

Kim Klement / USA TODAY Sports

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Tavon Austin - who was listed as doubtful due to a chest injury - will not play Sunday against the New England Patriots.

It was always unlikely Austin would be able to suit up after he missed all three practices this week.

Austin signed a four-year, $42-million contract extension before the season, but has failed to take the next significant leap in his development, with only 492 total yards from scrimmage.

Rookie Pharoh Cooper could see an expanded role with Austin sidelined.
