Rams report, 12/14

* Injuries.
- Sam Bradford and Chris Long's injured ankles were both "very sore" after Monday night's 30-13 loss to Seattle and they were scheduled to have treatment yesterday. Odds seem very good that both will be held out of practice Wednesday.

I ask again why Spagnuolo continues to whistle past the graveyard with Bradford. Sam himself has said he can't step into his throws and that his passes are basically all arm. This is a player who had major shoulder surgery two years ago. We remember that, don't we? I have a great idea - let's have Sam throw with bad technique in meaningless games the rest of the season and put a lot of stress on that shoulder. Oh, and while we're at it, let's make sure we expose the immobile Bradford on Christmas Eve to James Harrison, all pissed off after being suspended for a week. The Rams' present can't be any worse with Kellen Clemens behind center, but Spagnuolo seems to have no hesitation in playing Russian roulette with the team's future. Judgment this poor should have gotten him fired already.

- Mark LeVoir had a groin injury Monday night and had to be replaced by Adam Goldberg. LeVoir's chances don't sound promising for Cincinnati on Sunday.

- Josh Gordy has an oblique injury, a/k/a pulled abdominal muscle. He's day-to-day but was also described by Nick Wagoner as in doubt for this week.

- James Hall is day-to-day with a pectoral injury. What the hell is it with the pectoral injuries this year?

- Craig Dahl has a lower ankle sprain but isn't expected to miss much time if any.

- Stephen Spach had a minor calf injury Monday night and also a concussion. He'll have to pass tests before he can return to practice. This could be a faster process for Spach over other players since he can do Vulcan mind melds.

- Brit Miller's knee injury - he hurt it during practice last weekend - has not improved, and he appears to be heading toward I.R.

I have two words for you. BEN. GUIDUGLI.

- A.J. Feeley's broken thumb has not improved much, either. Still not sure why he hasn't been IR'ed.

- The injured players Steve Spagnuolo thought had the best chance of returning were Fred Robbins (back) and Quinn Porter (abdominal).

Updates from today's practice as I see them.

* Other items of interest:
- Congratulations to Shahid Khan; the Jacksonville Jagwires are all his after he got unanimous approval from the league's owners today to buy the team. That'll be $750 million, please. Paper or plastic?
- The Bears reportedly contacted Marc Bulger about making a comeback to try to salvage their playoff run. Bulger has opted to stay retired, however.
- The Miami Herald seems very sure that Bill Cowher is not going to have interest in the open Dolphins head coaching job. And with the assertion that Cowher will not want to "start from the ground up with a team that isn't playoff-ready," Rams Nation might want to just put his name on the wish list in pencil.
- The NFL has renewed its TV contracts with Fox, CBS and NBC through the 2022 season. Monday Night Football was renewed on ESPN through 2021 earlier this year.
  The new contract will mean - oh, joy - more Thursday night games, mostly on NFL Network. The Thanksgiving prime time game, though, is switching to NBC.
