MRI results confirmed St. Louis Rams left tackle Jake Long suffered a torn ACL in Sunday's loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, ESPN's Chris Mortensen reports.
Long will miss the remainder of the season as a result, which could open the door for first-round draft pick Greg Robinson to take over starting duties at left tackle.
Rams moved 1st rd pick Greg Robinson to LT when Long went down in 3rd qtr. Robinson was playing strong at LG but was a LT at Auburn in '13

This is Long's second serious knee injury in the past 10 months. He underwent surgery in January after tearing the ACL and MCL in his right knee in Week 16 of last season.
