Rams injury report, 10/20

Sam Bradford - high left ankle sprain, suffered on the Rams' final offensive play of their 24-3 loss to the Packers last Sunday (RamView). Did not practice Wednesday. Says he believes the ankle is improving and that he wants to play Sunday against the Cowboys. Still in a walking boot.

All I know is, a high ankle sprain is usually a 4-6 week injury, and Sam's going to need healthy wheels to be able to get away from Demarcus Ware. And we saw how rushing players back to the field, or practice, worked for Danny Amendola.

Let A.J. Feeley take the pounding this week.

Mark Clayton - has returned to practice but has not been activated from the PUP list. But coach says he looks good, and Clayton says he's ready to go Sunday.

Marquis Johnson - a much needed body for the secondary, Johnson has also returned to practice. I am uncertain of his PUP status.

C.J. Ah You - Honestly, the d-line could use another body, too. Ah You has had the pins removed from his wrist, which he injured in preseason. But the pins were removed because he's got an infection in that hand now. Did not practice Wednesday.

Rodger Saffold - injured during the Green Bay game. That has been diagnosed as a bruised fibula. He returned to practice Wednesday.

Cadillac Williams - the Caddy was reportedly towed off the field in the second half last Sunday, then the Fox broadcast never followed up on the report. When a player gets carted off the field, you figure his season's over. Well, now we know Williams has a bruised thigh. He practiced Wednesday.

And in a (possible) correction from an earlier post, the right knee Bradley Fletcher blew out in practice a couple of weeks ago is apparently the same knee he blew out his rookie year. I had thought it was his left knee back then. It sure would be nice if the media would actually report which knee a player hurts at a given time. They all have two, you know. If he's blown out the same knee twice in three years, don't we have to wonder how much of a career he even has left? At best, Fletcher is now the Danario Alexander of the Ram secondary.
