Sam Bradford Injury: Rams QB Limited In Practice, Will Be Protected By Same OL

ST. LOUIS, MO - NOVEMBER 27: Sam Bradford #8 of the St. Louis Rams looks to pass the ball against the Arizona Cardinals at the Edward Jones Dome on November 27, 2011 in St. Louis, Missouri. The Cardinals beat the Rams 23-20. (Photo by Dilip Vishwanat/Getty Images)

St. Louis Rams quarterback Sam Bradford tweaked his ankle, the one with the high ankle sprain earlier in the season, in last week's loss to the Arizona Cardinals. He practiced with the team today, but was limited. Despite his ankle, Bradford is still expected to play this week against the San Francisco 49ers.

Of course, Bradford may want to rethink playing this week based on new that the Rams plan to keep the same offensive line configuration this week. As a quick reminder, that unit struggled against the Cardinals defense last week. On the inside, Jason Brown got away with plenty of holding, which was his only chance against Darnell Dockett. Adam Golberg allowed two sacks by rookie fourth-round pick Sam Acho. This week, Goldberg will be tasked with blocking first-round pick Aldon Smith, who has 6.5 sacks this season. Oh, and don't forget Justin Smith, who has 6.5 career sacks against the Rams.

Sam Bradford.

With this season destined for the CRAPPER already why don’t they give Bradford a chance to heal completely. The chances of them winning another game is about the same as the COLTS winning one, not very likely. If this is our franchise and future they better protect him and let him heal. I wish they would let the RAMS and Colts play once to see which one is actually better or worse, either way these two teams will have the number 1 and 2 pick. I think the COLTS will get number one and trade it for several high draft picks and get a Q.B. I dont think Andrew Luck is the right Q.B. for the COLTS.

I agree with this comment

Except there is no reason the Rams can’t win more games this year, even without Bradford.

Blue collar means we go to work, we do our job, we go home to our families. We don't ask for special treatment, and we don't take any crap.
We are just here to do our job to the best of our abilities, and we take pride in our work. You might not be impressed while you watch us work, if you cannot understand what we are doing. But when you see what we have accomplished you will be impressed.
We are blue collar, we are the ones who built every thing you see.

Prediction

Sam is going to re injur his ankle and out for the year.
Feely will play and win at least 3 games.
Everyone will want to trade Bradford.

You saw it here first, the 8 ball does not lie.

There's no way we are winning 3 games with anybody.

Two things about me will never change. I will always root for the Rams, and I will always root against the Niners.

No way we win 1, much less 3.

Go Vikes!!!

This is why Bulger cries everytime he sees a football

Can Sam be far behind?

Feeley needs to earn his salary for what would probably be the last game of his career.

I don't like him playing injured.

It’s only going to hinder his ability to run and pass. If he’s not ready then why wouldn’t our coaches make a poor decision and send him out there? It only follows the other mistakes they make; they are more worried about saving their jobs than ensuring our investment is in position to succeed.

I hope Mc D

dont go heavy with the spread offense or Sam is a goner. Its time for the dink & dunk and a heavy dose of #39.

by OldRam61 on Dec 1, 2011 8:46 AM CST reply actions

The spread works pretty good against San Francisco

I would rather see the Rams give Jackson the ball 50 times though. The 49ers can be beat on the ground, it would just take a team willing to commit to it.
