Why does it feel like the Rams' injury list should be longer? I guess it has more to do with "who" is injured, and not the quantity in this instance? The marque name for St. Louis is, of course, Chris Long. He'll be out for a couple months, then back to his "rolling ball of butcher knives" ways. Trumaine Johnson's strained MCL will be a closely watched, week by week thing. The fact Shaun Hill is on this list gives me a queasy feeling, as does rookie Jamarcus Joyner. That Barrett Jones is on the list doesn't really bother me, in that the former 4th round draft pick has lived his career thus far in the wings; promise, and nothing to really prove he'll ever play.
Tampa Bay has some serious concerns at defensive end. I wonder if Lovie Smith called his old buddy Jeff Fisher to try and snag a few pass rushers from the deep pool the Rams currently hold? Seferian-Jenkins could be a key injury for the Bucs. Doug Martin will be missed if he can't make the call at game time too. Home games need a "Muscle Hamster", don't they?
Here's to seeing all these players back on the field soon, and none of their teammates joining them any time soon!
