Sam Bradford Injury Status: Rams QB Out This Week

The St. Louis Rams will be without quarterback Sam Bradford for the second week in a row. Bradford is still dealing with the high ankle sprain he suffered in week 6. The Rams ruled him today. A.J. Feeley will start in his place. 

Unlike last week, the Rams did not even try to test Bradford's ankle. The quarterback is still wearing a walking boot and being kept off his feet. It's a far cry from the optimistic tone most injury reports carried following Bradford's injury, when some all but guaranteed that he would play last week against Dallas. Makes you wonder how serious the injury really is. For most players, high ankle sprains mean around four weeks out of action. Quarterbacks move less, which led some to think that Bradford's injury might be the same hindrance it is for other players. I guess not. 

Wide receiver Danario Alexander is also out this week. A boom or bust player, Alexander has a problematic 41 percent catch rate. Strongside linebacker Brady Poppinga is also most likely out this week.

Ugh

Just wrote up the exact same post (except that I made a reference to farting in a crowded elevator). Better to sit him this week and let him heal up for the second half of the schedule.

Maybe Sapp was on to something

About the NFL getting soft, not say he should play but not even trying him out is mind bogeling to me..

I think when he tested it

out last week he exacerbated it. That’s prolly why they’re going to give it another week before the try that again.

Rams on the Rise. We can't go down from here.

Guess I can tell my wife I'm available

to do something Sunday afternoon… but then again, the way the Rams have been playing, any Sunday could be an open date
