Injury watch: Steven Jackson to return?

Ah, ritual. Every week for the last three years it seems like we're asking whether or not the Rams will have key players or not for that week's game. This week, there are some biggies. 

QB Marc Bulger - He's set for a neuropsych test today, which will determine whether or not he'll practice and play this week. haven't we been here before? Oh yeah, last year. Anyway, if Bulger can't go, Trent Green will get the start, a decision sure to light up message boards and talk radio around the metro area.

RB Steven Jackson - He's been running in workouts this week, and will give it a shot in practice today. There's actually a decent chance Steven Jackson will play this week. The Dolphins have a pretty tough run defense.

LT Orlando Pace - The Rams are hopeful Pace will be back after suffering a knee injury against the 49ers. 

We'll keep an eye on the afternoon practice reports. Stay tuned.

Spagnuolo sticking with Bugler

I’m hoping for good things on Bulger’s test. To my eye, it didn’t look like he took that bad of a hit – the guy basically ran right through him and his head bounced off the turf a little bit. It makes me wonder – is he using those concussion-reducing mouthguards? I believe the NFL is the only level of football that doesn’t proscribe them, but with someone with his history, I’d consider it.

I hate to say it, given my lack of belief in the guy, but Bulger + Jackson gives us our best chance of winning – or at least competing – this week. If Trent Green plays against a team that knows his weaknesses as well as the Dolphins do, his career may be over.

green

i’d rather have berlin in there than green, though the choice is something of a bad vs worse type deal.

you do start to worry about a guy who’s had three concussion since 2005. but I agree with you on the Bulger and SJ.

re: worrying about bulger x 3.

Oh, definitely. I’m already there. Concussions are quarterback-killers.
