The St Louis Rams have confirmed that quarterback Sam Bradford is out for the season with a torn ACL.
The injury occurred in the fourth quarter of the Rams' defeat to the Carolina Panthers when the quarterback was scrambling towards the sideline and fell awkwardly following a hit from safety Mike Mitchell.
The Rams said on Twitter: "An MRI confirmed that Rams QB Sam Bradford suffered a torn Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL). He will miss the remainder of the 2013 season."
Jeff Fisher's side are 3-4 in the NFC West following their defeat to the Panthers.
