Rams update, 11/26

* Transactions:
- Jason Smith to IR; see related post. His roster spot goes not to Rams practice squadder Ryan McKee, but to offensive lineman Bryan Mattison from Baltimore's PS. That's three PS guys in reserve should any of the Rams' o-linemen get injured the rest of the season. And Mattison's a converted defensive lineman.

* Injuries:
- Justin Bannan is out for Sunday. Josh Hull and Mark LeVoir have been previously ruled out.
- Danario Alexander sounds very doubtful. He and Austin Pettis are considered gametime decisions, but Pettis sounds much more likely to actually play. Pettis was a full participant Friday. We may still end up with Nick Miller getting playing time at receiver and punt returner. Brilliant.
- James Laurinaitis should be good to go.
- Chris Long and Cadillac Williams were limited Friday. I imagine Long is very likely to play and the Rams are just keeping him off his injured ankle. Unsure of Williams' actual status, guessing questionable at best.
- Lance Kendricks and Justin King were full participants Friday, so I assume they're good to go.

Arizona: Kevin Kolb is questionable. I just watched Arizona's game in San Francisco last week, where John Skelton melted down so badly he was replaced for the 4th quarter by Richard Bartel, who was almost as bad. Starting to look like Kolb will be the guy on Sunday.

* Fine day for a Seahawk:
- Kam Chancellor was fined $40,000 for hitting Kendricks in the head late in last week's game. Russell Okung was fined $7,500 for an unnecessary roughness penalty.
