Tye Hill out (bad news)

But there's ANOTHER season-ending injury for this team, and given Sunday's opponent, it almost couldn't have come at a worse time. The Rams are going to have to try to slow down TJ Houshmandzadeh and Funfundachtzig without Tye Hill, who's out for the season now due to a dislocated wrist. Article

This means we're going to see a lot of Jonathan Wade Sunday. Ron Bartell technically steps in for Hill, but rest assured the Bengals will be in a lot of 3- and 4- WR formations, which will keep him at nickelback. Oh, great, Quatre-vingt-cinq
vs. Jonathan Wade. At least Wade has the speed.

What the hell do the Rams do when Cincy goes 4 wide? As the article states, they have only THREE healthy CBs now! From the options the article lists, I'd lean toward promoting Darius Vinnett from the practice squad.

I see a lot of soft zones in the Rams' future.
