St. Louis Rams Vs. Cleveland Browns: Veterans To Watch

The St. Louis Rams will be heading to Cleveland to play the Browns this week. Although this game doesn't count many veterans will return for the Rams. The third preseason game is usually the game in which the starters play longer than the first quarter. So this game will give fans the best look of the new Rams that they have had in a long time.

Janoris Jenkins - CB

Jenkins missed the first two preseason games this season and it appears as though he will return this week. Jenkins had a disappointing season last year, but the talented corner has been teasing his abillity throughout his career so far. With defensive coordinator Gregg Williams coaching the defense now, the hope is that he will make Jenkins a better player, we will get our first glances of that this Saturday.

Brian Quick - WR

it was hard not to be impressed with the big catch that Quick caught from Sam Bradford. He's working with the first team offense and although that was a nice catch and run, the jury is still out on if Quick can make those types of plays consistently. He has looked better than last season, but it would nice to see a little bit more this week.

Jake Long - LT

This week marks the return of the Rams left tackle who ended last season on injured reserve after he tore his ACL. It seems like he will be a full go this week. It will be interesting to see how far along he is with his recovery. As long as he shows that he's still a good pass blocker than there's nothing to worry about.

James Laurinaitis - LB

The last two games the Rams defense has been pretty iffy, but this week we should see an improvement because Laurinaitis will return. The Rams need him to help get people in the right position and while he doesn't  make the splash plays that impresses fans, he's a really solid and consistent defender.

Michael Brockers - DT

Brockers had a solid season last year and he showed the ability to give apposing offensive guards headaches. He's more of a run defender than a pass rusher, however he finished last season with 5.5 sacks. He's the anchor of the impressive defensive line and it will be good to see him back this week. With him playing the Rams run defensive should be better than it's been the last couple of weeks.
