Los Angeles Rams cornerback Marcus Peters was carted to the locker room in the first half of Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Chargers and did not return.

Peters remained down after a catch by Chargers tight end Antonio Gates. He could not put any weight on his right leg as he was carried to the sideline. CBS sideline reporter Evan Washburn said on the broadcast that trainers were looking at Peters' calf and Achilles area on the sideline. Peters was then helped to a cart and taken to the locker room.

The team said Peters injured his ankle and was questionable to return, before later downgrading him to out. ESPN's Adam Schefter reported that Peters sustained a calf injury.

A serious injury to Peters would be a significant blow to the Rams, who acquired him from the Kansas City Chiefs in February in exchange for a package of draft picks. Peters is a two-time Pro Bowl selection who tallied 19 interceptions in his first three seasons in the league.

The 25-year-old Peters wasted no time making an impression with his new team. He picked off a pass in the Rams' season opener against the Oakland Raiders and returned it 50 yards for a touchdown. That marked his third career pick-six and his fourth career defensive touchdown.

Rams outside linebacker Dominique Easley was also ruled questionable to return with a knee injury.
