Steven Jackson Injury: Jackson Likely Out for Week Two, Bartell May Be Out for the Season

PrintSt. Louis Rams running back Steven Jackson will likely not play against the New York Giants when the two teams meet in a Week 2 Monday Night Football game. Head coach Steve Spagnuolo revealed the news in his Monday afternoon press conference.
Jackson strained his right quad on a 47-yard touchdown run in the Rams' 31-13 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday afternoon.
Jackson's status beyond Week 2 is unclear. He will be on a day-to-day, week-to-week basis following that game. Cadillac Williams will start in place of Jackson.
The injury report got worse from there. Perhaps the worst news was cornerback Ron Bartell. Originally thought to have a stinger, an x-ray revealed two fractures in his neck. The Rams top corner will miss significant time, and perhaps the whole year. Bradley Fletcher is day-to-day with a sprained toe; it might keep him out this week or perhaps even a couple weeks more.
Sam Bradford should be fine for the next game. He has a bruise in his index finger, but no break and no nerve damage. Spagnuolo deferred to Bradford's remarks from last night about playing against the equally injured Giants.
Right tackle Jason Smith does not have a high ankle sprain, and is day-to-day. Smith might be able to play this week, but he'll have to play much better than he did against the Eagles. C.J. Ah You has a wrist injury, but will likely be fine with a brace on it. It might force the Rams to play first-round pick Robert Quinn. Tight end Michael Hoomanawanui is practicing and will probably play against the Giants.
And what about Danny Amendola? As you would expect with the hardest working man in pro football, the news might be better than expected. It's unknown yet, but he may not require surgery and could even return this season. There was speculation of him coming back after week five...but that's very premature, very, very premature.
Spagnuolo said that the team would have to make some roster moves. Look for cornerback to be their top priority.

I mean… (sighing & shaking my head) this… this is getting worse & worse! Kinda like the damn giants! Like I said floyd in round 1 & a running back in round 2 after that we go all D! This is too depressing to watch & read apon!

More like Blackmon and Broyles
Cause RB is a dime a dozen, and Floyd is a head case

First and foremost, my prayers are with Bartell. That kind of injury could have been far worse. Here's to a speedy recovery
Danny’s elbow is something will heal sooner or later, but five weeks would be an amazing recovery.
Time to look to next week and how we’ll put CBs on the field that won’t have Eli Manning passing at will. It’s also time to find another RT before Sam gets killed.
I don't think Jason Smith played as bad as everyone thinks
I rewatched the first half of yesterday’s game and only one time was it really bad. That was the fact he had the count wrong.

I've wondered how bad it was too
I was too focused on watching the middle of the pocket get pushed back to see how bad the edges were, except that one time you’re talking about.

The reason he's being singled out
is because the commentator singled him out on one play. I’m pretty sure over half of the guys singling him out didn’t pay attention to him other than that, to be honest.

Actually, I watched his play closely. He had trouble moving his guy off the ball the entire game.
I’d like to hear Coach’s take, but he seems to have leverage problems. He looks like he’s straightening up and having strength issues. When I watch a O linemen, I look at how they bend at the waist to lean forward without loss of balance. Smith favors his left side and reaches with his right arm to maintain outside control. You can’t one arm a DE in the NFL and it will cost him a few penalties down the road. Just my opinion…
I'd expect you to be in the minority
that paid attention :p, I’ll take your word. In fact, I missed the play where the announcers called him out, only heard it from my TV being loud.

Injuries piling up in the NFL
Jon Beason and Eric Berry out for the season
Sam Bradford
CB = Devastating
Losing Bartell hurts. King stinks. Manning will put 400 yards on us with King starting. Time to bring back Quincy and introduce a new CB.
Well at least it's not as bad (except for Bartell)
I’m glad I couldn’t watch the game, I would’ve been drunk and mad.
Good thing we have Caddy so Jax can heal-up….but we’ll need CBs that’s for damn sure. And I’m glad Sam’s finger is just bruised.
We’ll have to erase that game from our memories and store it next to that week 17 ’hawks game in the dumpster.

If anyone cares what I have to say on Twitter: @Sergey_Konyshev
I'm hoping we can Norwood more involved in the offense this week,
But then again, doesn’t look like we’ve got much choice. Hopefully, the McD wheels are spinning on how to utilize that guy on some big plays
On other news st. Louis suicide lines are inundated with calls.
Piss off Tony, get shipped to Canada.

I have not heard about this up until now but apparently AJ took a paycut
ClaytonESPN John Clayton
Rams backup QB AJ Feeley took a $1 million paycut to stay with the Rams last week. He now makes $1.3 million.
There's the kickoff...and the season's over!
I’m just playing but these injuries are a nightmare. Hopefully some of them turn out to be not too serious but the Jackson/Amendola/Bartell are brutal. A real dissapointing start to a promising season.

Mario Butler or Akwasi Owusu-Ansah from the Cowboys. DeAndre McDaniel played some corner at Clemson, He’s on Indys ps. Damon Cromartie-Smith from UTEP via Pitsburghs PS.

I don't care if you say this is premature
but I am freaking out!! We were already in desperate need for CBs… now our top 2 are injured, 1 of them possibly out for the season. I already thought our pass defense sucked, now it’s going to be a feeding frenzy for other teams.
I don’t know about you guys, but my hopes of a 9-7 record for this year is quickly changing. Help at CB, shit for receivers, trouble stopping the run, and poor pass protection… this is a nightmare.
P.S. If Justin King continues playing, expect terrrrrrrrrible things to happen.
My thoughts...
1. Rams need legitimate receiver[s].
2. It annoys the hell out of me when I see Spags clapping after bad plays by the Rams.
More to come...
Getting bitten by the injury bug sucks
Giants fans feel your pain. I want to see you guys do well because I have a soft spot for your head coach.
Pathetic
i think our biggest problem is pass protection….everything was….ok…..we played a really good team yesterday. no turnover, and some pass protection….i think we win this one
R U dillusional?
And have illusions of grandeur?
1) Our WRs dropped a crap load of passes.
2) AJ Feeley is not the answer
3) We are up against a good QB and good WRs, where is our CB depth.
4) Our OLBs were out of position again and consistently overplayed the run and did not cover their gaps.
5) One word = Goldberg at RT. Why in the hell did the Rams release Renardo Foster? He was solid as a b/u OT last year.
6) The only bright side was that the Cadillac had some good mileage.
dead straight
many on this board are in denial….and don’t forget we only have beatin 1 winning teal so far in 3 seasons moss anyone
DAMNIT
This came as a complete shock for Bartell..

i watched the game on tv…..we rushed vick very well the first….maybe 2 series….then, all of a sudden we were only rushing 3…..it was 3 on 6…the replays were showing the eagles blocking 2 on 1……vick had all day….and then you watched sam….and he was under pressure the whole game. i truly believe that was the key of the game…..our OL did not protect sam. he had a poor game, recievers dropped balls……but the OL sucked and the defensive scheme was not consistent…..i think we played not to lose instead of to win
Vic is a problem
You rush to hard and he gets away for a huge run, you hang back and he passes and kills you that way. I think they were trying to find an anwer, but no one has found a solution for Vic except keep him off the field. If SJ wasn’t hurt we could have rotated running backs and ran the whole game. That would have ate the clock and kept him off the field.
calm down!!!
i think we’re gonna be ok……i think nerves had a lot to do with us…..i hope. we had big expectations…..alot of young players….alot of new players, wanting to prove themselves……i think we beat the Giants…..as long as Shurmer, i mean, McDaniels calls a good game
its not nerves its talent....
lets not sugar coat it
Giants missing Hakeem Nicks, Osi, and Tuck is banged up!!
We’ll beat the Giants.!!
its sad when we have to look at other teams injuries to feel we have a chance
thats not how winning franchises operate
after approx 25 minutes of playing time in the NFL, you can make that judgement, eh?

if we cut everyone these guys don't like, we wouldn't have a team left
Then they’d go out and sign about a dozen old hall of fame receivers, and have them sit out there in wheelchairs waiting for someone to throw the ball to them. We’d have to forfeit every game because we wouldn’t have anyone to snap the ball.
Don't respond to the troll it'll just
make him post more…
Sam Bradford to Mike Sims-Walker
Kinda has a ring to it
Caddy did produce last week
Kendricks will bounce back? He was never up in a real game. Im looking for him to actually show something.
who ever wins the west will be the worst of the worst
we are much worse than i thought ….and its time for sam to step it up do what he can or we are looking at another 1st or 2nd round pick —-honestly it looking like 2005 all over again……………………..don’t see us winning more than 1 in the first 7…guys its over….check out the positive threads 1 week ago compared to last nite …we all know it
its reall time for sam to rollout ----and step up to the plate big time and use what
limited resources he has ….he hasn’t played well in at least the last 4 regular season games and that concerns me
does anyone think we will win at lwast 6 games
and moy and vett haven’t seen your posts on the game what are your thoughts
im was so excited when we got mcdaniels ---hoping he could make something outta
not much ………..its doubtful…at least no screen passes
i really can't believe how shellshocked all u fans are
i can hear the balloon being deflated all the way on the west coast…i so disappointed by this bunch….i think big regression at least in record this year
and letd let thad just go and not get anything for him
can someone explain that move
HOLY CRAP
please put it all in one comment! Think of what you’re going to say THEN click post!

I can't believe Fletcher is hurt.
The Giants lost two cornerbacks but they still have Martell Webster. We are BEYOND screwed if Fletcher is our for extended time.
