ST. LOUIS -- St. Louis Rams offensive tackle Orlando Pace will
miss the rest of the season with a torn labrum and rotator cuff in his right shoulder suffered in the season opener Sunday.
The injury is Pace's second season-ender in two games, after
tearing his left triceps last November. Coach Scott Linehan said this one could be career-threatening.
Team physician Dr. Matt Matava estimated a six-month rehab period while calling it a "correctable injury."
"I think it's too soon to say what implications there are for his future," Linehan said. "I would think it's all up to the mind-set of Orlando and how he responds to another recovery to a season-ending injury
