St. Louis Rams linebacker David Vobora has had a nice preseason and will get more time to establish himself with Larry Grant on the shelf for a couple weeks.

The Rams lost LB Larry Grant today to a sprained knee, and he'll be out for two weeks.

I'm glad it's not serious because Grant has quickly become one of my favorite scrappers on this team. The 49ers cast off has played well in the preseason, even getting a sack with the first team. Two weeks means he probably misses the opener against Seattle.

Fortunately, the Rams have gotten some inspired performances from their other LBs as well through the last month. David Vobora and Chris Chamberlain have both made some noise and looked pretty strong in both special teams and time with the first and second units on defense.

• WR Brooks Foster is officially on IR, giving the Rams one open roster spot. See ya next year Brooks.
• Bulger, Grant, Little and Karney are out this week against KC. Karney's ankle worries me, but supposedly their just holding him back to make sure he's 100% when the season starts.
  
• Incognito is questionable for Thursday. Might as well let him rest, and give Greco and Schuening more time with the ones.
