Rams report, 11/11

* Injuries.
Limited participation in practice Thursday: Sam Bradford (ankle), C.J. Ah You (calf), Gary Gibson (hip), James Hall (knee), Josh Hull (hamstring), STEVEN JACKSON (foot), Bryan Kehl (ankle), Darell Dorell Scott (concussion), Eugene Sims (shoulder), Darian Stewart (ankle).


Hall is the only addition from Wednesday’s report.

The team is expecting to have enough depth to get by at DT Sunday. Gibson’s injury isn’t major, and Scott has been cleared for contact.

Bradford took about half the snaps at QB.

Not participating: Danario Alexander (hamstring), Lance Kendricks (sprained foot), Jerious Norwood (hamstring of doom), Jason Smith (concussion). Pretty good bet none of the four will play against Cleveland.

* Ex-Rams transactions. Terrail Lambert and Mortty Ivy were dropped respectively from the Saints’ and Steelers’ practice squads. The Saints had Cord Parks in for a tryout. The Redskins signed Fendi Onobun to their practice squad.

* Snubbed! OK, not really. To the shock of absolutely no one, there are no Rams on either Sports Illustrated's or Pro Football Weekly’s midseason All-Pro teams. The Rams are currently 31st in PFW’s power poll. As if they’d beat the Colts.

Thinking about it a little further, Steven Jackson and Chris Long have pretty strong cases to at least make the NFC Pro Bowl roster. Voting’s already open for the game at NFL.com, so consider supporting the rare few Rams who are playing at a high level. James Laurinaitis and Darian Stewart wouldn’t be wastes of votes, either.
