Rams news, 9/2

The Rams finished the 2010 preseason 3-1 after a 27-21 win over the Baltimore Ravens. Despite another brilliant outing by Sam Bradford, head coach Steve Spagnuolo claims he has yet to decide which QB will start Opening Day against Arizona. Spagnuolo is doing himself a disservice unless he wants the entire football world to believe he is actually a blithering idiot. OF COURSE Sam Bradford should be the Opening Day starter. He has cleared every hurdle you've thrown at him.

Poker players would call what Spagnuolo's pulling with the starting QB issue "slow-rolling". Just turn over your pocket aces and quit f@cking around. You're not being coy; you're being rude.

* Injury report: Victor Adeyanju played last night and looked fine, so he comes off the list. Keenan Burton saw limited action, but probably not injury-related. Off the list. Daniel Fells and John Greco were back in action, Greco impressively so. Off the list. Marquis Johnson played, too, and looked fine. Off the list! So did George Selvie and David Vobora. Off the list, all of you!

So, here's the Rams' blissfully-short injury report:

James Butler (knee)
Na'il Diggs (unknown)
A.J. Feeley (elbow, thumb)
James Hall (hip flexor)
Kevin Payne (knee)
Laurent Robinson (foot)
Eric Young (knee)

Payne played last night but re-aggravated his injury. Robinson was inactive for the game. He has been dealing with a mid-foot sprain. Diggs was also inactive, with no further information provided. Young sprained an MCL toward the end of the game.

* Waiver wire: teams are already making cuts to get down to the 53-man limit by tomorrow. New England has already announced that they've cut Damione Lewis and the Raiders have cut Eric Butler.

More to add when there's more to add. Probably when the Rams start announcing cuts.
