Let’s start with a significant helping of crow. The Rams did not lose 45-7 this week as I basically predicted; instead, they pulled off the upset of the season over the Saints, 31-21. (RamView) Congratulations to the whole team for ending that awful slump.
Another helping, please. Dominique Curry was possibly the Rams’ special teams player of the week. He was in on two tackles on kickoffs that kept Darren Sproles behind the 20. Sproles was not a factor at all on returns.
And Stephen Spach was even active Sunday! Second time all season. He’ll be passing Jerious Norwood soon at this rate.
Rams-Cardinals betting line for this Sunday is currently off the board due not just to Bradford’s status, but also Kevin Kolb’s. He’s got a badly-bruised toe and isn’t a sure thing to start for Arizona.
Injury report
* Sam Bradford (high left ankle sprain) is out of the walking boot, still considered day-to-day by head coach Steve Spagnuolo. Right now it sounds like he’s at least 50-50 to start against Arizona.
* Lots of boots made for walking around Rams Park. Mark Clayton (sore Achilles tendon) was in one over the weekend. He’s out of it now, but sounds doubtful for practice Wednesday.
* Darell Dorell Scott and Jason Smith (concussions) will continue to sit out Wednesday.
* Danario Alexander (hamstring) is expected to be back on a limited basis. Also limited: Jerious Norwood (hamstring) and Brady Poppinga (calf).
* Tony Wragge hyperextended a knee during the Saints game. I didn’t even know he was in the game! Not expected to miss time.
* Greg Salas got a minor ankle injury Sunday. Just sore.
* Justin King was very close to being active Sunday but the decision was to play it safe with his groin injury. He's full-go for Wednesday.
Transaction report
When Marquis Johnson was activated for the Saints game, the Rams put DB Brian Jackson on injured reserve. He’s the EIGHTH defensive back to be on the Rams’ IR or PUP list this year. Unless I lost count.
Ex-Ram watch: Continuing their bouncy practice squad careers, Mortty Ivy moved up to Pittsburgh’s main roster, while Eric Young was cut again by San Diego.
