Los Angeles Rams cornerback Aqib Talib will undergo ankle surgery Thursday, head coach Sean McVay told reporters, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.

Talib sustained a high-ankle sprain in the Rams' Week 3 game against the Los Angeles Chargers.

The timetable for Talib's return will be determined after the procedure, McVay added.

It was reported Monday that Talib would miss at least one month and would probably require surgery.

The 32-year-old started each of the Rams' first three games this season, recording two passes defensed and one forced fumble. Talib, a five-time Pro Bowler, was acquired from the Denver Broncos via trade this offseason in exchange for a fifth-round pick in April's draft.
