* Update: Trent Green will start at QB tomorrow night. Marc Bulger will not play. It is highly doubtful that Steven Jackson will play, though it apparently hasn't been completely ruled out. The Rams would have to cut a player to have Jackson available for the game.
* Oh dear. From Bill Coats this morning:
"Will Witherspoon's groin injury is worse than first thought and is causing some concern in the Rams' camp." Witherspoon is out for tomorrow night's game in KC, which is no big deal, but the Rams are sunk if he can't play in the season opener.
SUNK.
* Cuts. Cut yesterday to get the team to the 75-man roster limit:
- RB Lavarus Giles, who I doubt was here long enough to learn any plays;
- PK Justin Medlock;
- WR Shaine Smith.
The Rams also placed Justin King on injured reserve. They will have to cut 23 players, not 22, to get to the 53-man roster limit on August 30, because they've got a roster exemption for Steven Jackson.
* Keep dreaming. Those of us hoping the Rams would use a surprise cut and dump Drew Bennett, whose picture is next to the dictionary entry for "underachieving", can stop holding our breath. Scott Linehan says Drew's "..holding himself accountable to a very high standard, and he will play good football for us."
In other words: Signing the guy was my idea and we're not cutting him not matter how much he sucks, which even I realize is a lot.
