Rams quick notes, 9/21

The Rams' injury list, along with their record and their near-term prospects, did not come out of the Oakland game Sunday in good shape. To wit:

Out:
* TE Billy Bajema out 2-4 weeks with an MCL injury.

* SS Craig Dahl suffered a concussion; testing, and his status, are pending.

* DT Darell Scott has a high ankle sprain. Would seem to be of the 4-6 week variety.

Those were the in-game injuries. Also still out:
* LB Chris Chamberlain, broken/turf toe, 5-7 weeks.
* TE Michael Hoomanawanui, high ankle sprain, 5-7 weeks.
* CB Kevin Dockery, hamstring, should be full-go for Washington.
* CB Justin King, hamstring, should return to practice this week.
* DT Cliff Ryan indefinitely due to migraines. He was left back in St. Louis.

Walking wounded:
* TE Daniel Fells, who has an MCL injury but is day-to-day. I still don't know how he survived the splits in the first quarter Sunday.

* Steven Jackson's knee appears to be doing OK but he took some kind of hit to the head during the game. And kept playing; nobody tell TMQ.

* Rodger Saffold was briefly replaced by Renardo Foster due to a sore back.

Upshot:
* With only two healthy DTs on the active roster, Jermelle Cudjo is ready for his closeup, Mr. Spagnuolo.

* The Rams are also going to have to get a TE from somewhere if they're not ready to put Project Onobun into motion. Among the speculation: they'll activate fullback Brit Miller from the practice squad, or they'll re-acquire Dennis Morris (remember? from the Hall Davis trade?), a converted fullback who was a successful college TE.

Hey, don't look at me: the best candidate I've got is Sean Ryan, a veteran who played in Kansas City last year and was released in Tennessee's final cut. There's also Derek Fine or Eric Butler, TEs who have been with the Rams before. With Project Onobun taking up one roster slot, I doubt they would use another to claim Chase Coffman off Philadelphia's practice squad, but I thought about it.

It's not a very good market at all right now for a team looking for a tight end.

Richard Angulo and Anthony Becht, however, do appear to be available.
