Donnie Avery got off to a slow start last year, suffering a cracked pelvis early in training camp. Somebody get that guy a glass of milk, or some calcium supplements, because he's at it again. Avery broke a bone in his foot at Friday night's scrimmage and is expected to be out 4 to 6 weeks, potentially carrying into the first couple of weeks of the regular season.
This is a blow to a Ram receiving corps that was starting to show promise, with Avery, Laurent Robinson and Keenan Burton all playing quite well in camp thus far. Robinson and Burton will start with Avery down. Derek Stanley and Tim Carter appear to be the top candidates for third wideout.
Another Ram for whom injuries are nothing new: Adam Carriker will miss a couple of weeks due to an ankle sprain also suffered in Friday's scrimmage.
Mike Karney is slowly returning to action from an ankle injury of his own. He's been running drills but nothing at full speed.
Craig Dahl has been sidelined lately due to a hamstring injury. I suppose it's just what they call a "tweak".
Leonard Little suffered a neck stinger at Sunday morning's practice and was held out of Monday's practices.
Last but not least, Classy Eric Bassey's season ended with a torn ACL at the scrimmage. He was waived injured but may get another shot with the team down the line.
