* Lazy blogger catchup: SLB Na'il Diggs is out for the season. He was IR'ed yesterday due to a torn pectoreal (Missouri spelling) muscle incurred during the WIN over Arizona Sunday. Looks like David Vobora is stepping into the starting SLB role and Chris Chamberlain into Will. David Nixon, also a LB, was called up off the practice squad to replace Diggs on the roster.
* Injury update: NFL.com doesn't have the courtesy to PUT A DATE on its injury reports. I think this is today's, at least:
Sitting out practice: Oshiomogho Atogwe (shoulder); Ron Bartell (neck); Kenneth Darby (ribs); Michael Hoomanawanui (ankle).
Limited participation: Craig Dahl (knee); Justin King (shoulder); Jerome Murphy (hamstring).
Yes, that's FIVE defensive backs banged up the week before the Rams have to take on Drew Brees.
* A fool and his hypothetical money: I'm taking the Rams plus the ten points in New Orleans Sunday anyway. The WIN over the Big Dead lifted me to a big 6-5-1 this season.
* Transactions: replacing Nixon on the PS, LB Maurice Simpkins. He was last on the Packers' PS; they had signed him from the Green Bay Blizzard of the Indoor Football League. Two geek points for Simpkins: he was a programmer before catching on with the Packers, and he's a Chanticleer. (Coastal Carolina)
* Very minor ex-Ram updates: Keith Null was promoted to the Carolina main roster after they IR'ed rookie Tony Pike. Donovan Raiola was signed by the Bucs. Danny Gorrer has returned to the Ravens PS.
