Rams report, 8/19

* On the injury front:
- Marc Bulger didn't experience any shoulder problems in practice yesterday, so he should be OK to go.
- Orlando Pace played a half Saturday night and held up all right. He'll keep starting although reports are he won't be 100% by the start of the season. He's being limited in practice.
- Anthony Becht returned to practice. OJ Atogwe and Fakhir Brown are close to returning.
- Russ Weil, David Vobora, Brian Leonard - out.

* We demand a refund!
- The Rams are suing Claude Wroten for the pro-rated portion of his signing bonus that applies to this season, or $201,250. If the arbitrator finds in the Rams' favor, Wroten would have to pay the money out of his own pocket.
Yeah, good luck collecting that. Wroten has shown such maturity and wisdom making decisions in his life, I'm sure most of his original $805,000 signing bonus is sitting in a rainy day fund, and hasn't been used to buy like 125 pounds of marijuana.
Sure, that would be something like 57,000 joints, but don't sell Claude short.

* Jackson holdout, day 26.
- Total fine is now over $390,000, so he won't be able to help this guy buy a new violin like the one he lost on the train. As for poor Steven and his apparent feeling that $50 million over 7 years isn't good enough for his services, be assured I'm so sad for him I'm playing the world's smallest violin.
