Former Vols DB suffers terrible injury in first pro game

He had a good chance to get real minutes too.

Brian Randolph was one of the veteran leaders for the Tennessee Volunteers last year in the secondary. He recorded two interceptions, a forced fumble, a tackle for loss, a blocked kick and 70 total tackles in 2015. He went undrafted in the 2015 NFL Draft, but was signed by the Los Angeles Rams in the offseason.

The Rams definitely needed a safety, but Randolph suffered a serious setback in the first preseason game of the season against the Dallas Cowboys and likely won't be able to play until next season now.

Randolph said that the Rams showed interest in him from the very beginning so he showed loyalty to the team by signing with them even after he got some offers.Randolph also suffered a torn ACL in 2012 three games into the season so a bright spot is that he already knows how to rehab from an injury like this one.
