Givens was off to a good start in Sunday's game, catching a 50-yard touchdown pass from Sam Bradford to take an early lead in the game in London. This was only the second touchdown reception in the rookie's career.

In his last four games, the fourth-round pick has totaled 261 receiving yards and a touchdown. He has finished with at least 50 yards in each game, showing that he can be trusted as a consistent option on this young team.

The receiver was getting a bigger opportunity with teammate Danny Amendola out with a shoulder injury, but the injury might hurt his chance to take advantage of extra playing time.

St. Louis will now need bigger contributions from Brandon Gibson, Steve Smith, and second-round draft pick Brian Quick.

The good news is the team has a bye next week, so the extra time should be able to help Givens get back to the field if the injury is not serious.
